Dundee Rep and Scottish Dance Theatre present
OPTIMISM
Friday 25 - Saturday 26 March 2022
A brand-new show from Dundee Rep Young Company
People tell us the future looks bleak.
Climate change. Brexit. Health Crisis.
Financial Crisis. Instability. Insecurity. Fear.
But what happens if we haven’t even gotten started yet?
What if we have a whole load of ideas of our own?
If we want a different ending to this story?
