ABOUT
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. With a long term interest in Eastern Europe and Russia, John was drawn to the story of Star City as a metaphor for isolation and rejection a reflection of the Covid pandemic seen via the long lens of history. The monologues explore, loss, love and the anger of betrayal. Fetch Theatre would like to acknowledge the support of Arts Council England who gave emergency funds which allowed John to continue to develop and write and to work alongside artists to develop these seven pieces.
