Are we really all innocent until proven guilty? 

Part music video, part political theatre, Public Interest is an immersive large-scale show that asked how we challenge the narratives spun about working-class young people.

Public Interest explores real cases of Joint Enterprise to confront racist and classist discrimination within the justice system.

A cast of rappers and DJs perform drill, grime, and bassline – the music weaponised against them – to tell their stories on their own terms. Staged in a warehouse basement with video projection, cinematic lighting, and a bassline you can feel in your bones.

Public Interest was created in partnership with JENGbA (Joint Enterprise Not Guilty by Association) as a call to action.

★★★★ “What could have been a preachy polemic is made powerfully persuasive in an engaging production that puts the audience at the heart of the action. The whole cast excels” The Stage
