Word-Play Playtext
by Rabiah Hussain
In the Downing Street Press Office an emergency meeting has been called. The Prime Minister has been ad-libbing on live TV (again) and his words are going viral.
There is a flurry of accusations, and demands for an apology; but as his team debate what to do next, itās already too late. His words have found their way to dinner parties, bus journeys and newspaper columns across the nation ā and not everyone is angry
Word-PlayĀ explores how language seeps into public consciousness and reverberates with far-reaching consequences that will last for generations. It premiered at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs, London, in 2023, directed by Nimmo Ismail.
