ABOUT

During lock-down many of us began to share stories online, many of us opened up in ways which were new to us. One such conversation led to Margaret sharing her stories, of life as a child in Poland under Martial Law, with John, who was captivated by the use of language and the small details. 'Many stories have a commonality, something we can all share, but what often makes them real, is the small details which tie them down to one place in time'. John had recently worked with Foz and Maxine on the Star City project and so was keen to work again with these two amazing talents. This is a truly collaborative piece, which we hope is both evocative of one time and place, but is also a global story in which we all can share. 

John Knowles is a writer, director, actor and producer, based in Hastings East Sussex. This project is an independent piece of work developed during lock-down, with actors and musicians working remotely.

Margaret Westward

I come from Poland. I was born in mid 70s, orange and budgie green, sunny summers and cold winters, in time to witness 'defrosting' of communism, its 'freeze' phase, that is Martial Law of 1982, and its collapse into supposed 'freedom'. The story 'Martial Law', is my first story told on paper, and perhaps like most people who like stories, a millionth one told in my head. It is a true story. At the time of Martial Law I was 7 years old.
