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 DJs 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.
