YES is a fascinating and thought-provoking new docu-opera written by cultural commentator Bonnie Greer following her appearance on ‘Question Time’ alongside the leader of a right-wing nationalist political party. With music by exciting composer Errollyn Wallen and featuring nine singers, seven musicians and Bonnie herself, YES brings alive the emotions, hopes and fears of real people in today’s challenging world.”
