Is fascism once again on the march? Does the legacy of Sir Oswald Mosley continue to feed right-wing populist movements? This provocative new play explores Mosley's controversial life and activities, with a chilling contemporary punch.


From the perspective of the 1960's, and the emergence of the European Union, Sir Oswald Mosley looks back on his experiences in the 1930's. The play brings to life the meteoric political rise of Mosley as a potential Labour Prime Minister, and the subsequent founding and development of the British Union of Fascists. We see Mosley and Diana Mitford on their wedding day at Joseph Goebbels's house in Berlin, and witness the events leading up to the infamous Battle of Cable St, before the Mosley's are incarcerated in Holloway Prison, during the war. Reflecting from the perspective of his silver and ruby wedding anniversaries, Mosley ponders on his legacy and the opportunities for future political leaders to communicate with and stir the masses. Finally, that legacy is given substance in events taking place in 2019.
