Cable Street

One Sunday in 1936 the streets of London's East End became the scene of famous stand against rising fascism, as thousands of local residents, be they Jewish, Irish, socialist, trade-unionist, or just everyday working-class Londoners, joined together to prevent the British Union of Fascists from marching through their neighbourhood. Remembered as the Battle of Cable Street, Tim Gilvin and playwright Alex Kanefsky's critically acclaimed musical Cable Street draws on that moment and the communities who shaped it. Directed by Adam Lenson, don't miss this brilliant work as it comes to New York's Off-Broadway, at a time when it feels more urgent than ever.
