HOW TO START A RIOT
REVIEWS:
The Stage
Must See…
“explode our personal misconceptions of what a riot really is”
Fringe Review★★★★★
“the ability of these performers is boundless”
Broadway Baby★★★★★
“professionally stunning, this production shows there might be a better way to think about things.”
Fringe Guru★★★★
“How to Start a Riot will shake you into rethinking any hastily formed opinions you may have harboured since the events of last year”
The List★★★
“The real beauty of How to Start a Riot is watching that embryonic thought
process unfurl itself: a young brain starting to fizz with questions and inceptive ideas.”
The Scotsman★★★
“When there have been so many attempts to establish the cause of the London riots by interviewing a small selection of individuals who took part in them, it’s refreshing to find a play that looks at the wider picture”
