Description
Socrates was a pain in the neck. In 399 BC Athens, he asked questions that made everyone uncomfortable. Now, as democracy is restored and life returns to normal, it's time to shut him up. This provocative play by Howard Brenton explores an uncompromising voice in dangerous times. Based on eyewitness accounts, it offers a witty look at the challenges of speaking truth to power. Premiered at Jermyn Street Theatre, London, in June 2022, Cancelling Socrates is a thought-provoking drama that sheds light on the complexities of free speech and dissent.
