The Forum was written to explore what happens when belief turns inside out. What happens when the mission survives but the leader does not? When loyalty and betrayal blur so completely that they become indistinguishable? When the only thing left to hold accountable is yourself?

This is not passive theatre. It’s sharp, gripping, and intimate — a solo performance that drops you straight into one man’s moral spiral. He was sent to infiltrate a separatist group. He fell for it instead. Now the group is gone, but the fight lives on — inside him, and maybe inside you too.

At its core, this piece is about connection, reckoning, and the difficult work of healing and forgiveness. It confronts the human struggle to find meaning and balance in a world fractured by conflict and ideology.

This story is about conviction, identity, and the razor-thin line where freedom can slip into extremism. It doesn’t soothe — it provokes. No moral lesson tied up in a bow. No easy answers handed over. Just a question that follows you home and refuses to let go.

Come ready to question, decide, and be confronted. This is theatre that looks back at you — THE FORUM, where every vote truly matters.

You can catch The Forum every day until August 24th at studio at C ARTS | C venues | C aquila from 17:30 (50mins). Tickets (£12 / £10 conc.) are available through the EdFringe Online Box Office.
