Parliament Square

Can the actions of one person ignite change? 

Kat is an ordinary woman with a job, a husband, and a young daughter. She seems focused on keeping her head down and enjoying her ordinary life. One morning, Kat leaves everything behind and travels across the country to Parliament Square, to carry out an extraordinary act of protest. She hopes it will change the lives of everyone who sees it. But will the extremity of her actions make a difference, or will it simply destroy the lives of those around her? 

James Fritz’s brutal yet empathetic play examines the line between a person who is isolated in dangerous obsession, and the necessity of extreme political protest to make an impact on society. Is a sacrifice required to wake people up from their apathy?
