The United Kingdom of Earth - Brexit Opera

Please note this event has been postponed from 18 May 2017

In a not too distant future an isolated Britain survives on an otherwise scorched earth, saved from nuclear misunderstandings by Brexit. The United Kingdom of Earth is a science-fiction vision of "an island in the moon", adrift on shared history and past glories, visions of empire and sightings of rabbits on the copse.
Utopia or dystopia? Either way, something is bubbling under the civilised surface of day to day life, and there doesn't seem to be anything anybody can do to stop it.

And the earth itself? It's flat!

The United Kingdom of Earth is presented with a cast of local people wherever it goes. A large scale community play with songs, music, Morris dancing, marching, a dash of Christmas, and a special appearance by Her Majesty the Queen.

Music & Words | Dominic Robertson
