Draining The Swamp

A dramatization of Oswald Mosley’s life linking to politics today.

Draining the Swamp is a provocative new play, with five actors, exploring the life and activities of British Fascist leader, Sir Oswald Mosley, from the 1930’s to 1960’s. It links Mosley’s world, and that of his controversial second wife, Diana Mitford, to contemporary politicians (Trump, Johnson etc) and populist movements, with a chilling 2019 conclusion. The piece includes scenes set in Parliament, the Mosley home, and Goebells’ house in Berlin where the Mosley’s were married, with Hitler as witness, in 1936. Controversial and challenging, the play raises questions about the state of politics today and our approach to extremist politicians.
