ready or not
by Naylah Ahmed
Spring 2017
Ready Or Not responds to the distortions and media feeding created by the Global War on Terrorism, more commonly known as the war on terror. 16 years have passed since 9/11, which sparked this campaign, and in that time so much has changed; paranoia has grown, the ‘us’ and ‘them’ rhetoric has gathered significant pace, and 24/7 news coverage provides a soundtrack to our lives.
Exploring the domestic impacts of the war on terror in the United Kingdom, Ready or Not centres three characters who face the consequences of political scaremongering.
