Stand

What makes a person take a stand? Is it the sudden impulse of a single moment, or one small part of a lifelong commitment?

What makes a person elect to stand up and be counted? And would you do the same?

Chris Goode & Company and Oxford Playhouse present STAND: real life stories of courage and conscience from ordinary people who stood up for something, or someone, they believed in.

Six people who chose to act; and six actors, telling their stories in their own words. Stories about justice and sustainability, about friendship and risk, about bravery and kindness. Extraordinary moments from everyday life.

Following on from Chris Goode’s previous award-winning productions Monkey Bars (Unicorn Theatre, Traverse Theatre) and Men in the Cities (Royal Court, Traverse), STAND is a moving, inspiring celebration of the power of people to change their corner of the world.
