Please join us for a free performance of the Asylum Monologues by the renowned iceandfire theatre company. It is being hosted by Coventry Refugee Centre and NCADC (National Coalition of Anti-Deportation Campaigns) and is arranged to coincide with Human Rights Day.
Asylum Monologues weaves together first-hand testimonies about the UK's asylum system in the words of three individuals who have experienced it. With personal testimony at its core combined with public opinion, political statements and statistical fact, this production disseminates what it really means to be displaced in the UK.
It is scripted by award-winning playwright Sonja Linden, drawn from actual conversations and reveals the moving, funny and poignant relationships between British people and refugees who have fled violence and persecution in their own countries. More information at www.iceandfire.co.uk
Attendance for this performance at the Council House, Earl Street is free, so please come early to ensure a seat - first come first served!
We will be taking collections and holding a raffle during the evening in support of "The Hope Fund - Coventry" which provides food and neccessities to Coventry's gowing number of destitute asylum seekers.
We look forward to seeing you for free refreshments at 6.30pm and the performance at 7pm on Friday 10th December
