Welcome

Welcome performed for 35th Anniversary celebration of LGBT Christians in Southampton 2016

"Welcome is a uniquely powerful piece that deftly traverses the boundary between theatre and memoir – it’s down to some wonderful performances that levity and humanity abound in even the bleakest of situations". 
Sam Hodges Artistic Director of NST Southampron Theatres.

Behind The Smile

Behind The Smile tells the story of an destitute asylum seeker facing the hostile immigration system. 

​

This piece was invited to be performed at Sanctuary in Parliament, giving the chance to both lobby and listen to MP’s such as John McDonald advocate an improved and more humane immigration process helps to reduce the feelings of isolation.
