Protest Song – December 4-21
By Tim Price
“Nellist’s performance is so titanic, layered and tumultuous that you emerge feeling you’re not so much immersed in epic theatre, but beaten over the head with it. Or doused with a libation of lager on a cold night. As a chilly wake-up it can’t be bettered.”
— Simon Jenner 15 December 2023
ABOUT
Protest Song by Tim Price is a raw, urgent, and surprisingly funny one-man play set in the shadow of the Occupy London movement. Starring acclaimed stage and screen actor David Nellist (Sherlock, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time), the story gives voice to Danny, a homeless man swept into a revolution he barely understands. Directed by Sarah Bedi, known for her bold, socially engaged work, the production invites audiences to see the world through eyes too often ignored. Presented by Beaver Dam Productions, a company committed to politically resonant and emotionally charged theatre, Protest Song is a timely exploration of dignity, activism, and the right to be heard.
