SYNPOSIS:
“I am not an open book” is a new play that reworks fairytales and dystopia to explore what we gain to lose from the censoring of books. In June 2021, Hungary passed a law banning LGBTQ+ “propaganda”, leading to the wrapping of targeted books in shops and the implementation of hefty fines. A major book targeted was the children’s story collection, “A Fairytale For Everyone”, shredded live on TV by a right-wing politician for promoting gender non-conforming characters and other minorities within traditional Hungarian folk stories. “I am not an open book” adapts this current day context by bringing to life one of these short stories, with the permission of editor Boldizsár M. Nagy, while also dramatising the gradual degradation of book-selling rights from the perspective of a worker on the shop floor.
This show is paid through profitshare.
