What you’ll do

Get involved in this performance and discussion by Lois Weaver, which takes place around a table reminiscent of the War Room from Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 film ‘Dr Strangelove’. You can share what is worrying you, from the personal to the geopolitical, then discuss, listen and come up with playful solutions to the issues at hand.
