Crushed

The award-winning play by Royal Court Young Writer Tim Cook comes to the King’s Head Theatre after an acclaimed run at Brighton Fringe.

When three university students join a student march, they hope to have their voices heard and change the future of the education system in the UK forever. But as the protest intensifies they become lost in a violent storm.

Set during the London student protests of 2010, Crushed is a striking evaluation of modern day higher education, that combines elements of direct address and spoken word poetry.

“Captures a generation’s voice with sharp-eyed comedy and blunt honesty.” (The Stage)

Winner of the Best New Play Award (Brighton Fringe 2015)
