by BWW News Desk - January 26, 2020
The first one-person show to be performed in the UK Houses of Parliament, Marlon Solomon's Conspiracy Theory: A Lizard's Tale is a piece of documentary theatre which tells the often bizarre and sometimes terrifying story of Marlon's year-long journey through the conspiracy underworld after he found out that some people he knew didn't believe the Holocaust happened. Marlon explores why conspiracy theories are more popular than ever; examining how fake news gives fresh currency to ancient slander and how this all relates to current issues in mainstream politics.
