Paris, 1892. If you're not rich, things look bleak. Political bombings and police crackdowns tear the city apart. Out of this carnage steps Emile Henry, a young anarchist preparing his war against the State. But when he hears strange mumblings from the future, madness beckons...
​
Dead White Anarchists is a solo theatre show, written and performed by Paul Case and directed by Emily Ingram. It's a Molotov cocktail of radical history lesson, spoken word and sci-fi crime thriller. It's a reflection on a bloody past and a chaotic present, but always holding hope for the future.
​
Dead White Anarchists stopped touring in 2022, but is still available for bookings. Just get in touch via the contact section.

The test of a one man show is how often thru the hour you remember that you just sat in a dark room listening to some one talking. In the case of Paul Case's Dead White Anarchists the thought never once crossed my mind. A sort of audio anarchist cookbook peppered with intense and frighteningly accurate squat party acid flashbacks and a real sense that you're being told something that they really don't want you to know about

​
Dead White Anarchists is an unflinching, powerful piece of storytelling, performed with confidence, flexibility, and aplomb. A story with bite and humour and explosives aplenty
​
Ross McLeary, Inky Fingers
​
Dead White Anarchists is an urgent parable from a master storyteller, collapsing history as it shines a spotlight on the chasm between action and lifestyle
