The first interracial kiss on American TV, a decidedly internationalist cast of characters: Star Trek has always been a deeply political programme but what are those politics? How did they arise in the Cold War America in which the show was initially developed? And where does the vision of an international (or even intergalactic) Federation developed in the series fit into the politics of today?
George Takei's Allegiance is at the Charing Cross Theatre in London from 7th January - 8th April
Producer: Luke Mulhall
