Justice

In a city experiencing a three month heatwave, England's best World Cup since the 90s and the highest number of knife-crime killings in ten years, we focus on Michael, a young black male who has just finished his first year of college. The summer is about football, video games and parties - and pretending results day isn't looming. One night will change that, and leave Michael wondering what justice is if the system can't provide it... A new play about knife crime and being young in today's London, inspired by true events.

Justice was Wooden Arrow’s fourth production. It was staged in May 2019 and had a week long run at the Blue Elephant Theatre. Written and Directed by Rees Jenkins, with help from Romy Foster as Assosiate Director and Kieton Saunders-Browne guiding physicality as Movement Director.

This production was supporting Steel Warriors. Steel Warriors is a charity that looks to bring down the number of young people carrying knives in the UK. They melt down knives taken off London's streets and recycle the steel into outdoor callisthenics gyms. We helped to raise money and awareness for their cause. Please visit their site to find out more, and check out our spot on the Fundraising Heroes page!
