Counted? A Documentary-Play About British Democracy

Synopsis:
The general election has never been more visible, but many people won't vote. Why? Counted? is a fun antidote to election fever. It tells the stories behind the spin, and shows how we make ourselves count, away from the ballot box. Whether you lean left or right, or haven't decided if you'll vote at all, join us in the amazing surroundings of the politically charged Debating Chamber at County Hall to see just how well democracy is working.

Notes:
Devised And directed by Steve Bottoms, Ben Freedman And Mimi Poskitt
