After sell-out runs in 2013 & 2014, we're delighted to return to Camden Fringe with our brand new devised piece about Freedom of Expression.

Article 10 is named after an article of the same name in the European Convention on Human Rights: Freedom of speech.

Closing the Gap has created an all-new immersive show on the power of the voice. In response to the result of the most recent General Election; one of the closest races in decades with a result not even the exit polls could predict and with the UK election

results meaning a majority government for the Conservative party, the Human Rights Act is set to change.

Elsewhere in the arts and media, posters are being taken down in tube stations for fear of being offensive to Jewish people; lines are being removed from West End productions for fear of being offensive to diabetics; and a petition to have a columnist removed from

a newspaper for a highly contentious article on drowning immigrants received over 300,000 signatures.

Devised work inspired by interviews with Katie Hopkins, Glenda Jackson MP, playwright Julia Pascal & professor Dennis Hayes.

 

We ask: Is 2015 the year that Freedom of Expression is no longer a human right?
