For 400 years the site of Sydenham Common was fought over.
There were pitched battles, acts of sabotage, drinking water spiked with alcohol and month long festivals, in an attempt to keep this vast green space for the people.
Today there are green areas in Sydenham and Forest Hill that only exist because of those who battled – and continue to battle – to keep them.
Teatro Vivo want to take you on a theatrical journey around the whole area celebrating the things that we love enough to fight for.
Inspired by The Forest Hill Society and written by Bernadette Russell.
Common will take to the streets and green spaces of South East London from the 7th – 12th May 2024.
