暴徒在乡间肆意破坏艺术品--以及那些反抗者。

他们在军事扫荡中抓捕持不同政见者--作家、画家、音乐家，甚至未婚和无子女者，"治愈 "这些颠覆个人身份的人。

幸存者作为文化难民聚集在一起，保护他们的手艺、创作、爱和记忆。但 "他们 "让遗忘变得更容易

凯-迪克（Kay Dick）的《他们》（1977 年）失传半个世纪，卡门-玛丽亚-马查多（Carmen Maria Machado）对其进行了新的介绍，

这是一部重新被发现的受到攻击的乌托邦式艺术杰作：是对审查制度的灵魂呐喊，是对不拘一格的激进庆祝，也是一个警告。

As performed by Maxine Peake ('visionary'): the radical dystopian classic, lost for forty years: in a nightmarish Britain, THEY are coming closer.

'A creepily prescient tale ... Insidiously horrifying!' Margaret Atwood
'A masterpiece of creeping dread.' Emily St. John Mandel

This is Britain: but not as we know it.
THEY begin with a dead dog, shadowy footsteps, confiscated books. Soon the National Gallery is purged; eerie towers survey the coast; mobs stalk the countryside destroying artworks - and those who resist.
THEY capture dissidents - writers, painters, musicians, even the unmarried and childless - in military sweeps, 'curing' these subversives of individual identity.
Survivors gather together as cultural refugees, preserving their crafts, creating, loving and remembering. But THEY make it easier to forget ...

Lost for half a century, newly introduced by Carmen Maria Machado, Kay Dick's They (1977) is a rediscovered dystopian masterpiece of art under attack: a cry from the soul against censorship, a radical celebration of non-conformity - and a warning.

'Every bit as creepy, tense and strange as when I first read it 40 years ago.' Ian Rankin
'Delicious and sexy and downright chilling ... Read it!' Rumaan Alam
'Crystalline ... The signature of an enchantress.' Edna O'Brien
'I'm pretty wild about this paranoid, terrifying 1977 masterpiece.' Lauren Groff
'Deft, dread filled, hypnotic and hopeful. Completely got under my skin.' Kiran Millwood Hargrave
'Lush, hypnotic, compulsive ... A reminder of where groupthink leads.' Eimear McBride
'A masterwork of English pastoral horror: eerie and bewitching.' Claire-Louise Bennett
'A short shocker: creepy, disturbing, distressing and highly enjoyable.' Andrew Hunter Murray
'Prophetic, chilling and a reminder from the past that we have everything to fight for in the future.' Salena Godden
