Natalie Ibu’s acclaimed production of Hannah Lavery’s new play Protest will embark on a UK tour in early 2024.

Following highly successful runs in both Newcastle and Edinburgh and a tour throughout Scotland, the show will return to both Newcastle and Edinburgh as well as tour stops in London, Nottingham, Harrogate, Cambridge, Colchester, Coventry, Poole, Plymouth and Exeter. See below for tour dates & venues.

Lavery’s play follows three girls as they prepare to challenge the status quo and tackle injustices in a play that explores the power of friendship, activism and the believing in your own voice. In its 4-star review The Guardian called it “a stirring drama of waking up to injustice and trying to right it.” with The Scotsman (★★★★) describing it as “a vibrant show, lifted by three beautiful and poignant performances.”

Protest is produced by Fuel, Northern Stage, Imaginate and National Theatre of Scotland, and is supported by Arts Council England, The Binks Trust, The Linbury Trust and Three Monkies Trust.
