The Reckoning: Curtain Up
This month Dash’s brand new production, The Reckoning, opens at The Arcola Theatre in Dalston. Co-Writer and Director Josephine Burton gives you a taste of what to expect from this vivid and powerful new play about war, survival and the fragile trust between those who uncover the truth and those who must live with it.
Book your tickets for The Reckoning on the Arcola Theatre’s website.
Based on real events within The Reckoning Project’s verified archive of witness testimonies of the Russian war in Ukraine, The Reckoning is playful and unsettling, blending storytelling with movement, music and cooking.
As the performance ends, the conversation continues in Food for Thought. Audiences will be invited to hear reflections from expert speakers, journalists, lawyers, and those with lived experience of the conflict.
Written by Anastasiia Kosodii and Josephine Burton, and directed by Burton.
