Arise! Songs and Stories for the Bread Revolution

On the 26rd October, The Breadagogues – Marie Louise Cochrane, STB Hon Chair Andrew Whitley and Suzanne Houston – premiered their work-in-progress Arise! Songs and Stories for the Bread Revolution at the Scottish International Storytelling Festival. The show tells the story of wheat’s journey through history with humans, from wild grass to commodity grain. It tells of refinement, adulteration and the hope of redemption in the hands of ordinary folk claiming their right to healthy food. With an amusing narrative and catchy songs, audiences are invited to take this vital food into their own hands.
