The Lynching 

Jackie Walker

After a British and European tour, The Lynching returns to London.
Through the voices of 5 characters, Jackie Walker tells the story of The Lynching as it follows the lives of two women, mother and daughter, in two political movements, over 2 continents as history starts to repeat itself. 
A powerful, funny, moving and music-filled evening that will appeal to anyone who is passionate about justice and moved by love. 
Each performance will include a Q and A where you have a chance to speak to Jackie herself about the events depicted and your reactions to them. 
- Alexi Sayle, The Observer "Jackie Walker was a Labour activist campaigning for Jeremy Corbyn. Then she was accused of antisemitism, suspended from her party, abused and demonised on TV and the internet. This was her presenting her side of the story. First, there was a whole security rigmarole you had to go through to get tickets for this show, since pro-Israeli activists were trying to disrupt it. This was very exciting but I was still expecting to find little enjoyment in the show itself, seeing it more as an act of political duty. However, it turned out to be a great night. Jackie possesses a lovely singing voice and the honed acting skills of a veteran performer, plus the tragic story of her Jewish civil rights campaigner father and her black Jamaican mother, who was wrongly confined to a mental institution in the US, is worth a show in itself. Jackie is also very funny and frank about her own bolshy nature. Usually, when you hear after a play, before you can escape, somebody announces: “There will now be a discussion about the issues raised in this show” and your heart sinks but in this case the talk afterwards was almost as good as the performance."
