About This Book
The Mischief Festival returns this spring with a double bill of new plays exploring global questions of truth, freedom and corruption; and a very personal one-woman show. WE ARE ARRESTED: When a journalist receives a flash-drive containing critical evidence of illegal government activity, he is duty-bound to publish the story. But with the nation destabilised and divided, a sinister power is eroding the rule of law, and he soon finds himself risking everything for his profession. #WeAreArrested is the true story of a journalist's commitment to expose the truth in the face of huge personal risks. This deeply moving play is a tribute to the bravery of journalists under threat around the globe. DAY OF THE LIVING: Ayotzinapa, Mexico, 2014. Forty-three students are forcefully disappeared. No one is brought to justice. An anarchic, musical tribute to life and the Mexican spirit with urgent, global issues at its heart.

Pre-show Songs
SONG: STREET OF BONES
TANIA: I’ll meet you out in the heat
On the street of bones
We’ll stumble over our feet
On the street of bones
Come dance the darkness
Down through the doorway
I’ll have it mine,
And you have it your way
You can’t compete with the beat
On the street of bones
TANIA/ANNE-MARIE: You can hear the music start
On the street of bones
It’s not for the faint of heart
On the street of bones
See Katrina, she’s in a tangle
Look at death from a different angle
Once you start, you’re part
Of the street of bones
WOMEN: La calle de calaveras
La calle de calaveras
La calle de calaveras oh
ENSEMBLE: You’ve been gone so long my love
Won’t you stay with me
You’ve been gone so long my love
Won’t you stay with me
TANIA/ANNE-MARIE: Ain’t nothing like the sound
On the street of bones
People pounding the ground
On the street of bones
No one is crying, no one is grieving
And no one looks even close to leaving
Pure sound surrounding
The street of bones
WOMEN: La calle de calaveras
La calle de calaveras
La calle de calaveras oh
ENSEMBLE: You’ve been gone so long my love
Won’t you stay with me
You’ve been gone so long my love
Won’t you stay with me
TANIA & ENSEMBLE: I’ll meet you out in the heat
On the street of bones
We’ll stumble over our feet
On the street of bones
Come dance the darkness
Down through the doorway
I’ll have it mine,
And you have it your way
You can’t compete with the beat
On the street of bones
On the street of bones
On the street of bones
On the street of bones
SONG: YO SOY EL VENADO
ALVARO: The sound of the river
The earth at my hoof
Yo soy el venado
The sky is my roof
The wind of the mountains
The sap of the tree
Yo soy el venado
Their song is in me
Yo soy el venado
The eagle has flown
Yo soy el venado
I stand on my own
I stand in the clearing
Alone in the shade
Yo soy el venado
And I am afraid
The cry of the arrow
As swift as a breath
Yo soy el venado
the sound of my death
Yo soy el venado
The eagle has flown
Yo soy el venado
I fall on my own
The hunter may kill me
My body may burn
Yo soy el venado
And I will return
In the cry of the eagle
In the Mexican sky
Yo soy el venado
My song cannot die
Yo soy el venado
Made of blood and of bone
Yo soy el venado
But I am not alone
Yo soy el venado
SONG: THE MARIGOLDS OF MEXICO
ENSEMBLE: The ancient gods of Mexico
Are straying from their bed
The ancient gods of Mexico
The living folk of Mexico
Give flowers to their dead
The marigolds of Mexico
The church bell chimes...
