“Currently playing at #BelvoirStTheatre, A Mirror is set in an imaginary #authoritarian regime where the #MinistryOfCulture closely presides over the arts.

Written by British #playwright #SamHolcroft, the play seemingly begins with a wedding; however, it soon becomes clear the ceremony is a cover for an illicit performance of an unsanctioned play.

In a clever meta-fictional flex, the banned play in A Mirror is about a banned #play. The result, says Thanos, is an exploration of "#censorship, art and #whistleblowing".
