About The Big House
The Big House presents Blaze FM at Pleasance Two — explosive new writing weaving drill, grime and jungle tracks through an electrifying hour of powerful, political theatre. Hackney-based pirate radio station Blaze FM pioneers new music as a voice to the madness outside. But in the midst of court orders, redevelopments, shutdowns and outright attacks against Black music, the Blaze family fight for their right to exist. From Grime MC Jammz and the writer of Electrolyte, James Meteyard, directed by Maggie Norris. The show runs for 70 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
Raw, urgent and musically alive, Blaze FM puts a Hackney pirate radio station centre stage in a fight that matters. The Big House combines theatrical storytelling with the sounds of drill, grime and jungle — political theatre with a genuine pulse.
