Overview
Background
Adapted from the book by Can Dündar, who was arrested for publishing footage of Turkish State Intelligence sending weapons into Syria, this deeply personal and universal story finds urgent new life as authoritarian politics spread across the globe.
Synopsis
Arcola's first co-production with the Royal Shakespeare Company is a vital story about the cost of reporting the truth in the age of fake news.
When a journalist is sent a flash-drive containing critical evidence of illegal government activity, he is duty-bound to publish the story.
But with the nation destabilised and divided, a sinister power is eroding the rule of law.
What price will he pay for speaking out?
#WeAreArrested is a gripping play about fighting for truth in a network of lies.
