Jude Law, Ian McKellen, Samuel West to Join Belarus Free Theatre Event on December 5

Jude Law, Ian McKellen, and Samuel West will make guest appearances at Belarus Free Theatre’s presentation of the plays Numbers and Discover Love at the Young Vic on December 5, according to Whatsonstage.com.

The event is part of Index on Censorship’s campaign to highlight the appalling state of free expression in Belarus and a show of solidarity for BFT from the UK arts community.

Discover Love tells the story of Irina Krasovskaya and her husband Anatoli Krasovsky, a supporter of the Belarusian democratic forces who was abducted and disappeared in Belarus in 1999, and Numbers uses physicality, sound, and projections to illustrate statistics to detail the bleak reality of the country’s oppressive regime.
