7MRP Presents
A Toss for the Throne
An Epic Tale in Videoconferencing
It was a time when the community needed to bind together – maintaining a distance of 1,5 metres from each other, of course. 7mrp wanted to do its part and show that theatre survived all circumstances to elevate hearts and mind. And so we launched a new production, conducted through the safe and hygienic medium of videoconferencing, a daringly innovative new script by 7mrp’s own Dana Roskey.
Season One is complete! Watch the complete season on our Youtube channel. Thanks for all your support, and watch for Season Two in the autumn!

“16 MINUTES”
By Matteo Pasquini
“Each one of us has a role and a responsibility in pursuing civil rights and freedom, but it is so easy to acquiesce and to surrender.”
16 Minutes takes the audience on a journey through democracy and civil action as safeguards for citizen freedom in the age of digital surveillance.
We start with a theatre performance that centers on a reunion between the two childhood friends Mabur and Ulin, the latter of whom lives abroad and has returned home for a short visit. Slowly but surely, a daunting shadow creeps into the ambience, when the new political realities of Ulin’s home country start interfering with each friend’s individual fear and aspirations. Will their age-long friendship survive the recent political changes?
After the performance we engage the audience in a conversation about citizen freedom and digital surveillance. We reflect, speak up and share as a community.
A 7MRP Theatre Group production.
