When will I know when I've grown up?
What does revolution mean to me?

Earth. Lemons. Blood. Memories...

1967. A compound. Somewhere in the jungle... In the hideaway house of a rebel leader's family, we enter a world of rituals and secrets. A stranger knocks on the door and a revolution is born.

BE GOOD REVOLUTIONARIES is about a generation living under the shadow of legacies and big ideas... BE GOOD REVOLUTIONARIES is about children who revolt. BE GOOD REVOLUTIONARIES is about us.

"Dirty Market are theatre magpies, who make performances out of stuff that's normally thrown away. This fast-rising ensemble behind BACCHAEFUL (Time Out Critic's Choice) and SOMETHING ABOUT YOU MAKES ME WANT  TO HURT YOU makes underground, scratchy work that transforms space and takes audiences on surprising, visceral journeys.

Used to making work in crumbling chapels and old abattoirs, Dirty Market have now been let loose on Ovalhouse's malleable downstairs space."

The full version of BE GOOD REVOLUTIONARIES has been commissioned by Ovalhouse and will be presented in June 2012 as part of their OUTLAWS season.

In the ramshackle, hideaway house of a rebel leader's family, we enter a world of rituals and secrets. Daddy has long since gone; lost in the jungle on a dangerous mission. His wife and children crave his return, and their waiting games have taken a sinister twist. When a stranger knocks on their door, a revolution is born.

Be Good Revolutionaries is a darkly comic piece about us – a generation living under the shadow of legacies and big ideas... It challenges us to wake up, take charge of ourselves and realise, it’s up to us to change an unjust world.

Here are a few stills from our work-in-progress showing at Ovalhouse in March.

And from your feedback...

Somethings you remembered:
 - "guerilla 'wierd' drill"
 - "the bit where the revolutionary guy tells his story of how the girl died... scary!"
 - "being given an apple."

Somethings you enjoyed / loved:
 - "I loved the twisted, dark elements of an extreme belief in righting wrongs"
 - "The mystery of the father. The wierdness of it all."
 - "I loved the musician."

Somethings you would change / develop:
 - "The girl who had been shot. She was intriguing and spooky."
 - "The ghost haunting the soldier."

Things that you wanted to see happen in part two:
 - "Forming / splitting allegencies. To see them fall apart. See the love between the family, not only this powerful sense of twisted duty."
- "I don't think I want them to leave their haven. The 'real' world should come to them."
