Thank you for helping us make something remarkable.
Together, we brought The Reckoning to life - 32 performances, 31 guest speakers, 1,700 bowls of salad shared, and a host of four and five star reviews:
“A richness that nourishes both the mind and heart.” ★★★★★ - A Young(ish) Perspective
“A forensic charge sheet in dramatic form.” ★★★★ - The Guardian
As one audience member put it:
“This performance is not only art — it is an act of remembrance and resistance.”
We need your help so more people get to see The Reckoning - Actors Sam and Olga explain why in their short video - watch here
The Reckoning premiered at the Arcola Theatre in June 2025 with powerful real testimonies from Ukrainian survivors, sparking vital conversations about justice, equity, and collective responsibility.
This extraordinary milestone was only possible thanks to the generosity of our partners and donors: The Reckoning Project, AHRC Impact Acceleration Account Award from the University of Cambridge, Public Interest Journalism Lab, Open Society Foundations, Nick Tranter in the name of 4Ukraine Humanitarian Aid, Fritt Ord Foundation, Goethe-Institut in Exile, Goethe-Institut London, SAV Group, The Golsoncott Foundation, and all our incredible individual supporters.
What’s next
We’re not done yet. With your help, The Reckoning will return - bigger and bolder.
We’re planning:
A UK tour to reach new communities
A bold leap across the Atlantic in early 2027, sharing these urgent stories - and hope - internationally.
Here’s how you can help:
Donate: We need to raise £35,000 to plan, re-rehearse, and get on the road – and we’re already making great progress! Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve raised £12,850 so far. Even more exciting, an anonymous donor has pledged £10,000 if we can reach £25,000, bringing us even closer to our full target. That means we now have just £12,150 left to raise.
£5,000 would pay for the tour booker / £1,500 for rehearsal space for one week / £500 for our wellbeing practitioner / £50 for printing our Summer Salad recipe cards!
Share: Spread the word to help grow our campaign.
We deeply value all our donors and offer a range of exclusive, curated benefits - tailored to your level of support - to provide unique experiences and recognition.
Thank you for standing with us - and see you on the next stage of the journey.
