“You want to use Theatre.
For what?
Some of us say to understand the world we live in, but we also boast a few idealists who think that Theatre might have something to do with changing it.”
(Lavrenti in The Coat)
News stories break on our screens every day, many new stories every single day that give an account that is told from a particular point of view.
We asked refugees and asylum seekers what their headlines would be - and to air these views as breaking news, stories that matter to them and an opportunity to present a counter narrative in a world where so often their own experience and version of events may be overlooked or left unheard.
What do you really think and feel about our current times?
The extraordinary
theatre of the everyday
