Pressure Points

Politics. Power. Protest. Some groups really put you under pressure. Fran and Tara. Two students who are properly into their politics. It’s their passion. But it’s sort of hard to pursue that passion when the political societies at university are too focussed on in-fighting. So they’ve got an idea. It’s a good one. They’re going to start their own society. Their own movement. And you know what, it does pretty well. To start, at least. But the more influence they get on campus, the harder they find it to stick to their original principles. They might not be in Westminster, but they soon discover that university politics can be just as vicious. Set against the shifting political backdrop of the 2010s, ?Pressure Points’ is a play exploring youth activism and whether or not the political ideals we have when we’re young can work in the real world.
