We get braver as we get older’: #MaxinePeake on her daring #dystopia play performed in a #library

#KayDick’s novel #They was almost forgotten – but its dark predictions are eerily prescient. Perfect fodder for Peake and her new company to bring to life in #Manchester

I read a book: Kay Dick's They (1977).
A forgotten gem, rediscovered and republished in the excellent Faber Editions series, this is classic 70s horror: hell is other people, in the style of Invasion of the Body Snatchers or Night of the Living Dead.
The book's "underappreciation" of art feels very timely ...
A creepy, quick read, nicely done.
