In his last Rolling Stone interview Bob Dylan said he had always been interested in the conflict between doing something that was perhaps morally right but legally wrong.

Daniel Bye’s How To Occupy An Oil Rig, which is showing at Theatre In The Mill at the University of Bradford from next Friday to March 1, occupies this ambivalent territory in a story-telling style which brings the harsh realities of protesting into the spotlight.

Kettling, teargas, patience and boredom are all endured, and a lot of the time, as revealed by Daniel and his co-stars, it is to no avail.

This show is set in the world of environmental protest. When a group of protesters occupied a North Sea oil rig in 2009, little did they suspect the lies and betrayals that would follow.

Despite describing his theatrical approach as “immediate, playful, surprising and engaged with the world we all live in”, Bye’s light-hearted approach to his work carries a serious message.

His previous show, The Price Of Everything, which had an extended tour of the UK, questioned our perceptions of value as oppose to monetary cost.

The show, directed by Dick Bonham and Sarah Punshon, is performed by Kathryn Beaumont, Jack Bennett and Daniel Bye.

Daniel Bye presents How To Occupy an Oil Rig at Theatre in the Mill on February 28 to March 1, starting at 7.30pm. Tickets are priced £8, £6 and £3 and can be purchased from bradford.ac.uk/theatre.
