We’re raising £300 to bring our original play Gallows and Children to new audiences. This gripping, fast-paced piece explores the clash between truth and power in times of political unrest – and we believe it deserves to be seen. Your support will help us cover essential costs to keep this story alive.

We are Rebel Thread Collective, a group of international theatre-makers and graduating students from East 15 Acting School. With roots across the world and a shared love for bold, political storytelling, we’re passionate about theatre that challenges, questions, and moves.

Gallows and Children was born from our anger and hope. It’s inspired by real activists who fought against fascism in 1970s Turkey – but its themes are universal. We’ve crafted a surreal, visceral world where innocence and resistance meet brutality and greed. This is not just a play. It’s a cry for justice, a love letter to those who dare to stand up, and a reflection of our own fractured world.

We want to share Gallows and Children with wider audiences – because we believe in the power of theatre to question, provoke, and connect.

For us, this story is personal. We carry the weight of inherited resistance, and this project is our way of honouring it.

For donors, this is a chance to support bold new writing and diverse emerging artists bringing underrepresented stories to the stage.
