About the event
It is one year after the End Of Theatre and fourteen-year-old Nim Dullyn has just witnessed his first DROLL - an underground performance of comedic excerpts from famous plays. Seduced by the magic of the stage, Nim sets out for the Cittie with this illegal theatrical troupe. He is pursued by the beastly Roundheads, fundamentalists who deem theatre an abomination during this time of Sicknesse and Troubles. Inspired by the theatre closures of Puritan England, The Droll asks: what evil would you do in the name of laughter?
