A Little Inquest Into What We Are All Doing Here
ThisEgg by Josie Dale-Jones, Abbi Greenland and Rachel LemonAbout
In 2022 a show was cancelled while it was still in rehearsal.
The idea of what the show might be created a demand for it to be left unseen. A Little Inquest Into What We Are All Doing Here is a show about censorship and freedom of expression. This piece of theatre - part autobiography, part fiction - questions the limits of performance: what we make it for, what we go to it for and what we are willing to stand up for.
A Little Inquest Into What We Are All Doing Here is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.
Developed at Camden People's Theatre, Streatham Space Project, Old Diorama Arts Centre & New Diorama Theatre. With thanks to Shoreditch Town Hall.
The Traverse Theatre is funded by Creative Scotland and the City of Edinburgh Council.

★★★★ "This thoughtful and probing front line dispatch is delivered with an unexpectedly devastating theatrical swagger" - Lyn Gardner, The Stage
"a truly uplifting piece about resistance, survival and community" -Total Theatre Magazine
