“My involvement in the Dialectics Congress goes back nearly 6 years, when Leon Redler gave me a radio play he'd constructed out of the Congress material. I thought at once that what was said then was directly relevant to the enormous problems we face today and have been doing my best ever since to bring those great characters and their visions back to life.

In 2012, I constructed an event featuring six of the key speeches which I took to three London venues including Occupy London, and since then I've completed a full-length script.

The treatment of Carolee Schneemann and the whole down-played role of women in the conference are very important questions for me. The form I've devised for the play gives back power to the women.”
