Liberation Squares

A riotous stage comedy about sisterhood, freedom of speech, and dissent in the face of institutionalised Islamophobia.

But when charismatic social media activist Xara challenges them to speak up about injustice, they find themselves under state surveillance, targeted by the anti-terrorist ''Prevent'' program. What you say, and even what you think, can be viewed very differently, depending on who you are...
