We have partnered with 6 universities across Europe to create a unique borderless piece of digital theatre that explores freedom of speech in the university community and the nature of online debate.

After receiving an extraordinary response, with over 195,000 streams worldwide and the script downloaded in 32 countries, we are delighted to announce that we are making the film and playtext available for students and staff in schools, colleges and universities until 31st March 2023.
