Asylum Monologues has been touring the UK since it was launched at Amnesty International in June 2006 and is scripted by award-winning playwright and artistic director of Ice and Fire Theatre, Sonja Linden. Christine Bacon, the Director of Actors for Refugees, said: “As actors we can give faces and voices to the unseen and the voiceless. We try to redress some of the misconceptions about asylum seekers and refugees with more accurate information and with personal stories that will appeal to many audiences.”
The event is part of the One World Week, organised by the SU Social Justice and Environment and Equal Opportunities Committees.
