Time: See website for details
Oswald Mosley was considered to be the most
able politician of the 1920s, a Labour Prime
Minister in-waiting. What caused a changed
direction for this man, who then founded the
right-wing British Union of Fascists, renowned
for street violence and antisemitism? What
lessons are there for today when nationalism is
once more on the rise across the Western world,
and politicians like Trump are able to attack
democracy and stir up violent protest? Draining
the Swamp is a provocative new play, exploring
these issues and challenging our approach to
extremism. It raises questions and warns with
a chilling contemporary punch.
