'Why Do You Stand There in the Rain?' - Pepperdine Uni theatre
After winning a Fringe First in Edinburgh in 2012, students from Pepperdine University return to Scotland to tell the story of the 19332 march, when 25,000 unemployed First World War veterans occupied Washington DC to peacefully petition the government for promised relief. Hoover’s response? To drive them out with bayonets, bullets, poison gas and fire. Featuring the music of Woody Guthrie and his contemporaries, this is stylistic tribute to the Scottish Political Theatre tradition, a true story for here and now is told in the words and songs of those who were there.
