The Royal Court Theatre will host its own Pussy Riot on Saturday 3rd November from 2pm inspired by Russia's feminist punk band who were jailed in August for hooliganism after being arrested for an impromptu anti-Putin protest in Moscow's main cathedral. Writers, artists and performers will come together to bring the punk political spirit of the Pussy Riot to the Royal Court's Wilson Studio for an afternoon of anarchic artistic expression, inspired by Pussy Riot's iconic protest. The day will include new short plays by young British and Russian playwrights, including responses from E.V. Crowe, Yaroslava Pulinovich, Penelope Skinner, Hayley Squires and Yulia Yakovleva as well as performances of material from the Pussy Riot courtroom trial. The afternoon will culminate in a debate on feminism in the arts, with playwright E.V. Crowe and journalist Vadim Nikitin in the Jerwood Theatre Downstairs, with more names to be announced. Audiences will be encouraged to enter into the riotous spirit of Pussy Riot by becoming active participants in the day, responding in person and live on social media.
