Lost from the old board was a thread on the censored NYT production 'Homegrown' tackling issues of Islamic radicalisation and Islamophobia.
The head of that organisation, Paul Roseby, seemed to cave to pressure from police and local authorities, never giving a full explanation for his action and has been rewarded for this by keeping his job to the present day (or maybe he was more responsible than we know).
Anyway, it had been self published and an excerpt was performed recently courtesy of the Index on Censorship.

Not in stock at the moment but the script is available from Amazon (not sure about elsewhere)

Having worked on similar, immersive theatre scripts are a tricky beast, not being linear you can end up with it being like on of those 'choose your own story' books from yesteryear.
