Where members of the LSE Liberated Zone combine to disconnect from worldwide aparthied inequalities to voice their thoughts. Changing the status quo for radical change despite the powers that be having their resistance, whilst those proceeded doing their due diligence for humanity worldwide.

Writers & performers; as well as flatmates Samuel Rees & Gabriele Uboldi, during 2024, in their Camden flat embark on a discovery of archives from 1968, the student movement that led to the life changing events that made history. Where despite gentrification affecting the cost of living, both guys enter the past in pursuit of finding hope, retelling a story of truth; exploring themes of suicide, racism, and homophobia; restructuring how theatre could reshape reality.

Both men deeply discuss the past, present and future of activism. Especially as the human race at this moment in time have become despondent & dispirited at the breaking point of fleeting fear, worry and energetic awareness in the midsts of capitalism, and the abyss of the unknown within a potential revolutionary future.
