Right/s
Common Wealth
An urgent immersive show on youth culture.
An urgent immersive show on youth culture by Common Wealth, Bradford’s political theatre pioneers.
Are we really all innocent until proven guilty?
Right/s is a major new work about freedom, justice and youth culture in the 21st century. Created for Bradford 2025 by Common Wealth, and performed by a cast of rappers and DJ’s from Bradford, Right/s explores the criminalisation of young people across society – and how knowing our rights can give us the power we need to shape our future.
Right/s takes us on an immersive journey from club night to courtroom and beyond, with testimony and true-life stories from young people – and a sound-score featuring drill, bassline, grime, afrobeat and house from some of the country’s most exciting artists. Vivid and electrifying, this world-premiere show will capture and celebrate what it means to be young in the UK today.
