KLAXON productions present Another Country by Julian Mitchell // 6th tt18
'Either you accept the system, or you try to change it. There's no alternative'
KLAXON productions brings Julian Mitchell's award winning play 'Another Country' to the Pilch in 4th Week of Trinity Term. This is a story about sexuality, politics and rebellion and is going to be given a new raw and energetic staging.
'Another Country' follows a company of public schoolboys through a summer term in the early 1930s where Bennett and Judd are both outsiders; one coming to terms with his homosexuality, the other already a committed Marxist. But the Establishment has traditional ways of dealing with rebels and when a scandal rocks the school, the young men must confront their beliefs and make choices which will have a momentous impact on their lives and on the future of their country.
Another Country balances subtle wit and thought-provoking drama in a fictionalised account of a generation of young men, including Guy Burgess and John Cornford.
