A young ragtag militia must quickly and efficiently clear a building of
those deemed old or infirm. In our world stripped of wealth, resources
and the current social hierarchy – young people now have the
competitive advantage.
Trapped in one apartment is a woman in her fifties who wants to survive
so that she can see her son one last time, to ask forgiveness. What does
a mother owe a son when the world is collapsing?
In this intimate 90-minute play, one family’s struggle becomes a war cry
against complacency.
#NoExemptions is written by Angela Buckingham and directed by icon
of independent theatre Susie Dee. Produced by The Shift Theatre,
this story is a walloping of intergenerational justice. In the near future,
young people hold their parents to account for environmental collapse.
A family reuniting for the last time, confronts each other with complicity
in the crisis – intimate, intense, told with a twist and shot through with
apocalyptic black humour.
Liz Jones, Artistic Director of La Mama, describes this as a story about
what happens to people under extreme stress.
Imminent danger informs every aspect of the production, from sound
design by multiple Green Room Award nominee Ian Moorhead, to set
and costume design by winner of the Beleura John Tallis Design Award
Sophie Woodward.
