Rage

Simon Stephens' explosive play 'Rage' was written as a counterpoint for Elfriede Jelinek's 'Wut'. Composed as 31 high-energy scenes, each one is based on a series of photos by Joel Goodman which captured the excitement and the mayhem of New Year's Eve 2015/16 in Manchester city centre. Published in the Manchester Evening News the photos quickly went viral in capturing a vital cross-section of a country on the edge. As the clock strikes 12 the celebratory mood turns into violence, racism, marriage proposals and the opening of portals.
