Riverside Studios is thrilled to be supporting the development of Patria o Muerte, a bold new work by Leo Oliva (The Last Ship, Scorpion and Season two of The Gentlemen). Inspired by Shakespeare’s Macbeth and the history of the Cuban Revolution, the project examines ambition, betrayal, and the human cost of dictatorship.
As part of Riverside’s R&D Scheme, Leo will present a proof of concept at the end of November — a selection of scenes staged in Brechtian fashion, giving audiences a first glimpse into the world and style of this powerful new work.
