A series of talks, conversations and debates, given by leading voices in the arts, media, science and politics.

Inspired by The Old Vic Community Company’s next production Rise, a group of pioneering activists will discuss how we can balance our personal lives with our social responsibility, and how best to effect change in the 21st Century.

The talks explore the themes raised by the productions on the main stage in creative ways.

The first confirmed speaker is the Reverend Paul Nicolson, with further speakers to be announced.
