It was too exciting. There was something amazing going on all the time. I learn an entirely different kind of London. All these buildings people walk past every day, and there's so much power in them, but no one knows. Tory Party HQ, City Hall, Egyptian Embassy, American Embassy, Foreign Office, but no one holds them to account. No one says, "You answer to us". Danny sleeps rough on the steps of St Paul's Cathedral. Has done for years.
Then one morning he wakes to see a canvas city being erected in front of him. And Danny finds himself swept up in the last occupation of London. Tim Price's funny and savage monologue explores the reality of the Occupy Movement. Inspired by a true story, this account of an unlikely hero allows us inside a remarkable political moment. Protest Song received its world premiere in the National Theatre's Shed Theatre on 16 December 2013.This edition features an introduction by the playwright, Tim Price.
