A Voice in the Crowd

“He’s called … the Voice … the Voice in the Crowd”

 

 

Over the five weeks ten young people taking part in Kings Corner Project’s Theatre Industry course worked with directors and actors from the Almeida Theatre. 

 

They used voice, movement and text to explore Theodore Ward’s Big White Fog, a play about a family’s hope for a better life admist the racism of 1920s Chicago.

 

 

Their response to Big White Fog was A Voice in the Crowd, a short piece of devised theatre which looks at  how easy it is for new, seemingly innocuous ideas to gain power and influence - and how they can take over the minds and lives of an ever expanding group of people. 

 

 

In creating and developing this piece of devised theatre, the performers worked closely with four members of the Big White Fog cast: Ayesha Antoine, Aaron Brown, Tony Armatrading and Novella Nelson.
