On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In association with Creation Theatre, we will be presenting a workshop-performance of Meerut (1931), one of the most important of the Workers’ Theatre Movement’s early agit-prop sketches. Meerut describes the trial and imprisonment of a group of trade union leaders in India through ‘mass declamation’ and was described by Ewan MacColl, founder of the Red Megaphones, as ‘quite the most exciting bit of theatre’ he ever saw. Following the performance, discussion of the play’s context will be led by Nicholas Owen, Associate Professor of Politics.
