Etcetera theatre, above the Oxford Arms pub, 265 Camden High Street, London NW1 7BU
War on Want will soon take the stage for a new play that uses both comedy and drama to put fashion ethics on the rack.
Ruffled is the story of Emma who works for Ruf: a fast-paced fashion retailer. Catwalk to high street in six weeks, with an ethical reputation to protect. When the bottom line is threatened, suppliers' credentials go out the window. But who cares when good PR can save them from bad press? A War on Want speaker will take part in a Q and A after each show and talk about our Love Fashion Hate Sweatshops campaign.
The play has been written by and stars Ellen Gylen, with other actors Linda Lowell, Stephanie Cohen, Andrew McHale, Robbie Byrne, Jaz Deol and Elena Popovici. The director is Tim Daish.
Performances will start at 7.30 pm from Tuesday to Saturday, and at 6.30 pm on Sunday.
Tickets, price £12 (£10 concessions), can be reserved on 020 7482 4857 or atwww.ticketweb.co.uk or www.etceteratheatre.com. Map at http://www.etceteratheatre.com/index.php?id=6
