In a Europe that appears to be falling apart, these playwrights reflect in radical ways on the challenges we all face together.<\/p>\n<p>From a mockumentary play about the rise of the far right to a medieval comedy considering the consequences of living an internet age, the festival will showcase the best of new European drama alongside events considering our relationship to Europe in a post-Brexit world.<\/p>\n<p>The festival includes one British play, but the audience will be asked to guess which one. Is European theatre and British theatre as different as we think it is?<\/p>\n<p>The festival will also include post-show discussions, and Margherita will be hosting a discussion on theatre translation for the shows on 8 January 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The Yard is based in Hackney Wick, East London.
