Inspired by the writer’s own experience in jail and rehab, this electric restaging of Ed Edwards’ shattering portrait remembers the events of 1981, reflecting on the civil unrest that sparked a new era of class relations in the UK. The Political History of Smack and Crack is an urgent, angry, funny love song to a lost generation crushed by the heroin epidemic at the height of Thatcherism. Edwards’ thrilling production takes a playful and politically sharp look at the reasons for the UK’s heroin epidemic of the 80s and 90s.
