Riot Act

In 1919, Lutonians rioted when they were excluded from Peace Day celebrations. In 2019, we're looking back on this bold act.

In a brand-new devised show by Yet Another Carnival and Dark Olive created in collaboration with the people of Luton, a platform will be given to the voices that we rarely hear. Everyday Lutonians took over the council chamber for an immersive exploration of decision-making today.
