Review: Sharp, witty show with serious questions about identity

How To Occupy An Oil Rig presents a step-by-step guide to political protest.

Start with a spare weekend. Find a cause: nothing too heavy, something to do with wildlife, maybe. Get involved, enjoy the experience, the camaraderie, the sense of taking action. Go on a march. Take part in a sit-in. Invade the board room of a multinational energy company. If that’s not enough, go for something big: take over an oil rig. It’s tough, dangerous, and it will grab the headlines.

Along the way, make friends, get arrested, fall in love; discover you’ve been betrayed by the very person, the closest comrade, you thought you ever had.
