Fresh from an outstanding run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, this compelling piece of theatre goes straight to the heart of race, class, gender and power.

Running from Monday 2, until Saturday 14 October.

“That day we taught ourselves as the movement what we as the movement meant when we spoke about white supremacy, institutional racism and black pain at UCT.”

Fresh from its resounding success at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, having received two top awards, five-star reviews and standing ovations throughout, The Fall transfers to the Royal Court.

As the statue of colonialist Cecil Rhodes came down at the University of Cape Town, seven students wrote The Fall. It took South Africa and Edinburgh by storm and comes to the Royal Court for an exclusive limited London run.

The production was a response by seven drama students and activists of the movements at the time. It does not offer solutions – it merely documents their experiences.

“Powerfully driven… A truly ensemble production which has both teeth and heart. And one which stands for student revolt around the world and down the ages.” ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ -  Tom Dibdin, The Stage

“The Fall fights for the power of all the oppressed in an impressive, heartfelt performance that won’t soon be forgotten.” ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ - Chiara Margiotta, Edinburgh Festivals

“A fascinating and troubling work, made simultaneously joyous by an outstanding ensemble.” ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ - Hugh Simpson, All Edinburgh Theatre
