Stand

What makes a person take a stand? Is it the sudden impulse of a single moment, or one small part of a lifelong commitment?

What makes a person elect to stand up and be counted? And would you do the same?

Chris Goode & Company and Oxford Playhouse present STAND: real life stories of courage and conscience from ordinary people who stood up for something, or someone, they believed in.

Six people who chose to act; and six actors, telling their stories in their own words. Stories about justice and sustainability, about friendship and risk, about bravery and kindness. Extraordinary moments from everyday life. STAND is a moving, inspiring celebration of the power of people to change their corner of the world.

Chris Goode returns to Mayfest after 2013’s The Forest and the Field, and 2012’s Open House.

A theatre-maker of infinite talent and infinite compassion... up there with the very best.” Lyn Gardner, The Guardian on Chris Goode

Chris Goode & Company is a collaboration between lead artist Chris Goode, producer Ric Watts, writer and critic Maddy Costa, and a fluid evolving ensemble of makers, designers and performers with a group of associate artists at its core. We make theatre. We tell stories. And we think out loud about who we all are.

Show times: 8pm (Friday and Sat) / 4pm (Sun)
