Occupy London protesters are taking over the stage with a theatrical production dramatising the group's four month demonstration outside St Paul's Cathedral.
A series of short plays inspired by the international movement's protest against bankers and corporate greed are to be performed at the Arcola Theatre in east London on February 19.
German Munoz, organiser of the event titled, Occupied Times, said his intention was to create a "living newspaper" as in Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution when theatre was used to inform people about current events.
Mr Munoz and four other playwrights, Michael Harding, Rebecca Walker, Eve Leigh and Isley Lynn, have been visiting the camp regularly and have written pieces featuring the protesters camped outside St Paul's and their banker targets.
Mr Munoz said: "Theatre is a great medium to take a current event and cast a critical eye on it like the Tricyle Theatre did recently with their show The Riots. But ours is not verbatim theatre.
"We want the show to explore sides of the movement that have not been heard.
"We're hoping to reach people of all ages who feel they've made up their minds about the Occupy movement. People who either think of the protesters as a bunch of lazy hippies who don't want to get a job, or see them as martyrs fighting the good fight against a system that is unbearably corrupt.
"Of course neither of these are completely true, and we want to show audiences our responses as artists and help them make up their own minds."
It comes as the Occupy protesters prepare to take their fight to remain outside St Paul's to the Court of Appeal. A High Court judge ruled earlier this month they should be evicted as the campsite constituted a "public nuisance".
