Die or Run - Edinburgh Previews

The 1980s.

Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has pronounced ‘there is no such thing as society.’

2019, nearly 40 years later, and what kind of society do we live in? In the current political and social climate are we more individualistic, are we more alone within our communities, and CAN WE STILL HAVE A GOOD TIME AT THE DISCO?

Die or Run is about society and politics, self-help and anxiety, big hair and 80s disco, and looks at how our mental health has been influenced by political ideology.
