Past Productions...

There Are No Swans in Dudley - The play focused on the thoughts, feelings and emotions of Asylum Seekers living in Dudley, it was commissioned as part of a year long project interviewing asylums seekers about their experiences getting to and living in the UK. The play contrasted thought provoking testimonies of living through abuse and racism, with comic scenes highlighting some of the ridiculous preconceived ideas and media hype, asylum seekers deal with on a day-to-day basis.

Ambition - Oct 2006 - This performance was part of Young People's Week at Stourbridge Town Hall. The piece explored extracts from modern plays which focused on the themes of power and ambition. Using a variety of performance styles and techniques, ranging from physical theatre to classical theatre, the show considered the impact of individuals on history, and demonstrated that power and ambition remain a potent force today.
