Fire Starter Festival Launch

Register here. 

We open this year’s Fire Starter Festival (#FSF2021) in theatrical style with Not Mad Enough, a Legislative Theatre piece from Active Inquiry, based on the recent Hard Edges Scotland report and explores issues of Mental Health, addiction, housing, services, poverty and violence, amongst others.

Join us to experience how Legislative Theatre enables an audience to become actors, activists and policy makers by using theatre as a catalyst for proposing and voting on new policy.

The play: Not Mad Enough

Morag, like all of us, is playing the Great Game of Life. She wants the game to be fair but this isn’t a game of chance or skill when the rules are against you from the start. A background of poverty and violence means Morag is forced to play games of fortune with services when she wants to be able to control her own path. Is it inevitable there will always be winners and losers?

Can you shape a different outcome for our protagonist?
