Chapter shares its 40th birthday this year with Hull Truck Theatre Company, whose founder Mike Bradwell hosts this special event. Mike will be talking about his new book and the need for the continuation of revolutionary theatre. Here’s a taster of what you can expect:
“I subscribe to the ‘Shankly Protocol’. I believe that theatre is not a matter of life and death; it’s much more important than that. Real theatre must have the humanity of Chekhov and corruptive influence of rock’n’roll. It must be sexy and subversive, dangerous and dirty, compassionate and joyful, mysterious and foolish and in constant opposition to the establishment. And it has to be entertaining.
I believe that a functioning theatre is as important, and as necessary, to the spiritual and physical wellbeing of any community as a school, a hospital, a police station, a library, a sports centre, a nuclear submarine, a prison or Prince Andrew.
Theatre is where we invent the future.”
