Archivist’s Comment:

Nick Darke (1948 – 2005) was a British playwright, environmental campaigner and frequent collaborator with Kneehigh Theatre in the 1990s and 2000s. ‘The Riot’ is play about the ‘Sabbath Riots’ in Newlyn, Cornwall, in 1896, when the fishermen demonstrated violently against the Sunday fishing fleet from Lowestoft. The publicity for The Riot, as shown here, featured Kneehigh’s designer, Bill Mitchell, and his distinctive gold tooth. Bill designed the show, but did not perform in it.
