England Arise!

To mark the coming centenary of the start of the First World War, Bent Architect have shed light on a largely unknown story of the Huddersfield Conscientious Objectors, a group of passionately Socialist young men and women  who opposed the brutalities of the war on political grounds.  They were vilified, harangued and subjected to the full force of the state – yet never flinched from their deeply held anti war and anti capitalist sentiments.

This production will address the centenary events from an anti war perspective, and has been largely informed by the writings of historian, Dr Cyril Pearce.
