About this episode
This episode explores practical applications of anarchism through community initiatives and cultural projects.
In this episode we meet those who are putting anarchism into action through community building, including the founders of Doncaster's A Commune in the North and Bristol's Rockaway Park. We'll learn about Three Acres and a Cow, a theatre show which teaches audiences about land rights and we'll go on a special adventure with Chumbawamba's Dunstan Bruce. We begin however, on the outskirts of Sheffield to visit Edward Carpenter's century-old queer, anarchist, socialist, feminist, vegetarian, nudist, sandal-wearing utopian retreat known as Milthorpe and which scandalised the local vicar. With Robin Gray and Katherine Hallewell from theatre show Three Acres and a Cow , Chumbawamba's Dunstan Bruce, Warren Draper and Cath Muller from A Commune in the North, author Sally Goldsmith and Mark Wilson and Marta Jachimowicz from Rockaway Park.
