Brutopia

By Howard Barker. Directed by David Salter

Manchester School of Theatre's first production of the Autumn Season will be Brutopia by Howard Barker.

A riposte to the conventional image of Thomas More, Brutopia takes as its starting point the alienation of the least favoured of his daughters and her secret composition of a counter-text to her father’s classic, Utopia. This is Howard Barker’s method par excellence – invented history, speculative morality, worlds within worlds.

Tickets can be purchased from the HOME Box Office.

• £10.00 full price
• £6.00 concessionary
• £3.00 students (Thursdays only)
• £2.00 for MMU School of Theatre students and alumni
