Support The Reckoning: A Powerful Call to Action
Dash Arts is proud to present the world premiere of The Reckoning, a bilingual documentary-style drama that shares the untold stories of those affected by the ongoing war in Ukraine. Running at Arcola Theatre in London from 29th May - 28th June, this raw and emotional production is based on real testimonies from survivors of the Russian invasion. Created by Josephine Burton and co-writer Anastasiia Kosodii, the play explores the bond between a journalist and a Ukrainian survivor navigating a war-torn town, grappling with themes of survival, justice, and peace amidst destruction.
A journalist meets a man in a ruined village outside Kyiv.
Why don’t you start with when the war began for you?
The Man from Stoyanka is a security guard, just an ordinary man. But when everyone else flees, he stays. As his home turns into a no man’s land, he chooses to take extraordinary action.
And she’s there to record it - for the history books, the courts, for humanity.
A Food for Thought programme follows every show, offering depth to the performance, fostering connection and dialogue through facilitated post-show discussions with artists and guest speakers.
Urgent funding need
As we prepare for The Reckoning’s premiere, we have successfully raised the majority of the £148,000 budget. However, there is still £15,000 needed to fully realise this ambitious production. Your support will help us bring this powerful play to life, ensuring it reaches UK and international audiences at this critical moment.
Can you donate between £200 and £20,000 to help us reach the finish line?
