Review: MAY 35TH, Southwark Playhouse Elephant
by Cindy Marcolina - May 31, 2024


It’s a sophisticated manifestation of human activism that’s unafraid to display shared trauma and address the threat of authoritarianism. An ode to dissidents and a celebration of the legacy of those who were brutally murdered during the demonstrations and whose deaths have been weaponised to further hatred, at this point in time, the show is a cry for help. The team openly ask for international support in remembering and demanding answers: Chinese history is being erased officiously under our own eyes.

by Vikki Jane Vile - May 30, 2024
