Winner of Best Play for Young Audiences in the Writers' Guild
Awards 2016 The tide was turning - though local governments
disagreed, it would soon be illegal to segregate black Americans
from white Americans on public buses, in waiting rooms or in
restaurants. And yet - in the early 1960s, many states across the
south of America kept discriminating against African-Americans...
In modern day Britain, four actor-storytellers tell the stories of
the Freedom Riders - principled citizens riding buses across
Alabama and Mississippi, drawing attention to this illegal
discrimination, and facing up to terrifying violence with peaceful
resistance. The story of the Freedom Riders is one of ordinary
people becoming a civil rights movement, taking on the
establishment and changing the world. In a time of Michael Brown,
and Trayvon Martin, and Mark Duggan, what does it mean for people
to come together and rise up?
