Banner Theatre Tour Schedule

Tour Schedule \| Sept \| Oct \| Nov \| Dec "They get free mobiles...don't they?" A new multimedia documentary theatre production from Birmingham-based Banner Theatre, which sets out to bust some of the myths about refugees and asylum seekers. This live multimedia show, combining music, song, video, film and theatre, speaks for asylum seekers in their quest for safety and security after fleeing war-torn lands in Africa and the Middle East. It tells the human stories of people in the wrong place at the wrong time, and cuts through the myths and prejudice surrounding the search for sanctuary in England’s green but sometimes not so pleasant land.
