The Reckoning: Why Now?

In the third episode on the journey towards our production, The
Reckoning, Dash’s Artistic Director, Josephine Burton is in
conversation with Rory Finnin, Professor of Ukrainian Studies at
the University of Cambridge. Interspersed by some short
performances from the developing script, the two discuss the
creative process behind the making of the production, rooted in
testimonies taken from survivors from the Russian war in
Ukraine.
