NIDA: Story of the Red Mountains

"I wasn't sure what to prepare. So there's a little bit of wine and a little bit of cheese. But given that you're all members of the Party, I tried making some punch with borscht and vodka instead of champagne. As far as the wine goes, don’t worry, it’s all red. Claret. I hope you enjoy yourselves." 22 September 1951. A group of communists and sympathisers gather in preparation for the result of the anti-Communist referendum. Written for NIDA by award-winning playwright, Ben Ellis, and under the direction London’s Theatre503 co-artistic director Tim Roseman, Story of the Red Mountains explores politics, isolation and violence. Featuring NIDA second year acting and final year costume, design, production and properties students. Story of the Red Mountains is a NIDA commission supported by the NIDA Foundation Trust.
