A group of the UK's leading playwrights have joined forces to create a collection of powerful short plays in response to the coalition government's cuts in public spending.

Between the 16th and 19th of March there will be over 60 performances of these plays across the UK in theatres, school halls, houses, anywhere and everywhere. All proceeds go to the charity Children's Poverty Action Group.
