The Rebel Cell
created by Baba Brinkman and Rowan Sawday

England 2015: new anti-terrorism laws dispense with the last of our civil liberties. Dizraeli, leader of the popular revolution, faces terrorism charges and journalist Baba Brinkman is assigned to get to the bottom of his dissident politics. A highly irreverent political comedy, this ‘thrilling rap drama’ is a night
of fun, ‘word-smithery’ and awe-inspiring eloquence.
