Synopsis
Set in 2116, the world is run by a large company called KRONOS. Revolt is set in the country of Europa. The ethos of KRONOS is that everybody is equal to those of the same intelligence as each other and are divided into class according to IQ. The play shows the under 19’s courtroom where peers are judging each other for their crimes against Europa. Midway through the play the courtroom is stormed by a group of Rebels who are looking to take back control of Ireland and destroy the KRONOS Corporation.
