Dreams of Peace and Freedom
English Cabaret in association with C theatre
In its 75th anniversary year, we have forgotten why we have the ECHR. A living
commemoration of a living law, this beautiful song cycle offers a new way
to view the Convention, telling its story through the words of its British
artisan, Edinburgh-born David Maxwell Fyfe. It shows how the seeds of ECHR
grew in the wasteland of the evidence of the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials.
Firmly rooted in humanity, David's personal papers, Sue Casson’s music and
archive film blend in this powerful celebration of the Convention's
protections. ‘
Magnificent work about freedom, democracy,
