Pressure Drop

idoc

Part play, part gig & part art installation, is brought to you by Mick Gordon & Billy Bragg from 19 April to 12 May at Wellcome Collection.

Check out the trailer, this play raises the issues that is in the back of most peoples heads, and its refreshing to see artists tackling issues that you would expect political leaders to be tackling. Timingly comes out before the UK general election.

Pressure Drop asks a central question: What makes me who I am? It explores the individual, familial, social and political reference points which make a person definable and recognisable to themselves and others here in the UK. ‘Pressure Drop’ takes us to the heart of one family’s struggle to ‘define home’.

This passionate drama written by acclaimed writer and theatre director Mick Gordon was inspired from singer-songwriter Billy Bragg and his book ‘The Progressive Patriot’, Bragg explores what it means to be English in contemporary Britain. Reflecting on his family, their history and revisiting the music that originally inspired him, Bragg challenges versions of patriotism proposed by the far right. For the production he will write and perform new work.
“I have never done anything like this before, mixing songs with theatre is a totally new experience for me,” said Bragg.

Billy Bragg recently threatened to withhold his tax payments unless the government stops banks using taxpayers’ money to pay their employees big bonuses.  Good to see someone who can, make a stand !!
