Performed in the light, open space in the bottom floor of The Museum of the Home, On Railton Road focussed on the Gay community who led protests for rights not only of the community, but to preserve homes across London in the 1970s. The production fictionalises the lives of a real group of squatters, then intersperses (with increased absurdity) the agit-prop punch and judy style play the group actually wrote and performed at the time. The production was part interactive performance, part play, part puppet show, and wildly touching and tender in its exploration of love and community. The choice to perform it in alley format with the lights on for the majority of the time created a sense of community in the audience; this was bolstered by the actors interaction with the audience both in formal and informal ways.
And the puppets. I cannot begin to describe the hilarity that ensued.
Overall a delightful production merging history, performance, and fun.
