REFORMED
by Tommy Fletcher Mcmeekin, directed by Rikki Beadle - Blair
2028. Nigel Farage has recently been elected Prime Minister in a landslide, Joe is on track to another promotion, Lewis finally might be getting a job and England have made it to another final at Wembley so football might, just might, be finally coming home.
Reformed follows three young working class men, Joe, Lewis and Mark, as they navigate ever changing social norms, expectations and pressures. Their friendship is tested when they attend the European Championship Final at Wembley where they meet Dan, a violent nationalist who Mark has naively befriended. A rising political tide runs beneath the story, with the newly elected government pushing through a controversial "Patriot Act" under MP Penelope Thorngale.
The boys must ask themselves the question: What does being a patriot truly mean?

OUR HISTORY
The Bread & Roses is an award-winning free house right in the heart of Clapham. Owned by The Battersea and Wandsworth Trade Union Council (BWTUC) and run by the Workers Beer Company, part of BWTUC Trading, it prides itself as a pub with a social consciousness.
The Bread & Roses is named in recognition of the struggle of workers around the globe for a better quality of life. The name is taken from a song written during a strike of women textile workers in Lawrence Massachusetts, USA in 1912. 27.000 women went out onto the streets and marched for eleven weeks to improve their working conditions. Their banners called for bread and roses. A poet among them, James Oppenheim, wrote the lyrics to what became the trademark song for women trade unionists around the world. It is still sung by delegates to conclude the ICTU Women's Conference.
