Synopsis

A unique guide to creating impactful political theatre, produced by one of the UK’s most innovative and exciting companies.

‘Do it yourself isn’t just a book – it’s a rallying cry!’ – Keith Saha, 20 Stories High

Do it yourself is a vital resource for anyone interested in exploring theatre culture grounded in and produced by working-class communities. Designed for artists, activists and community organisers, the book offers a step-by-step guide to creating political theatre that is relevant, impactful and rooted in the lives of everyday people.

Common/Wealth have spent fifteen years working at the cutting edge of political theatre. They share their experimental and activist approach to performance-making, based on DIY principles and the belief that ground-breaking theatre can be made with anyone, anywhere, in ways that truly resonate with the communities it serves.

Do it yourself introduces Common/Wealth's artistic and political ethos, provides insights into their performances and offers practical exercises for creating your own work. But this is not just a manual. It is a celebration of culture as a collective endeavour, one that can challenge the status quo and inspire change.
