Hoods Creator Brings Rebel Cell to Poole
Described by The Scotsman as “like listening to a cross between Shakespeare and Mike Skinner of The Streets…”, the critically acclaimed theatre company Giddy Ox present the multi-award winning show The Rebel Cell at Lighthouse, Poole’s Centre for the Arts from October 6th – 7th.
Set in the year 2015, England has adopted terror laws that dispense with the last remaining civil liberties. Dizraeli, the leader of the revolution, has been captured by the state police. Baba Brinkman is the journalist assigned to interview the prisoner and get to the bottom of his dissident politics. Enter the Rebel Cell, a lyrical battle of wits and world-views. In an interview room in a state police station, the two men lock horns in a daring and vivacious battle of political ideologies. Using multi-media projections, real-time camera work and a live scratch DJ, the audience is taken back to 2010 to scenes which reveal a turbulent history between Dizraeli and Brinkman.
The Rebel Cell is brought to the stage by the original producers of the West End Smash Hit Into the Hoods and with real-time camera work, interactive video, a live scratch DJ and a lyrical hip hop battle, this show is a “philosophical revolution! “
