'Asylum Dialogues' Productions coming up
Asylum Dialogues Scripted by Sonja Linden
What happens when you meet someone who has fled their country to seek refuge in the UK? What happens when that person becomes your friend and needs your help? Drawn from real life conversations, Asylum Dialogues explores the everyday encounters between asylum seekers and British people, encouraging usto challenge our own preconceptions.
" We regularly hear about the terrible hostility that asylum seekers and refugees face. But we rarely hear the stories of British people who are standing shoulder to shoulder with those seeking sanctuary in the UK. Asylum Dialogues tells these inspirational stories and shows how small gestures of welcome can make a big difference". - Juliet Stevenson, iceandfire patron
The performance will be followed by workshops with leading refugee organisations and The Co-operative Membership, celebrating diversity across our community.
Asylum Dialogues is performed by members of their national outreach network, Actors for Human Rights, made up of over 500 professional actors dedicated to drawing public attention to a range of contemporary human rights concerns.
