Nottingham City of Sanctuary has awarded Nottingham Playhouse their Theatre of Sanctuary award. It reflects the tremendous work the theatre has done over many years to encourage participation and accessibility to people seeking sanctuary in the city.
Highlights have included productions that reflect the experience of asylum seekers and refugees such as The Kite Runner and Kindertransport, plays written or performed by refugees such as Pizza Shop Heroes, and a refugee being taken on to do work experience.
The Playhouse is keen to engage with organisations working with refugees and asylum seekers to discuss how best to tell stories of refugee experiences and publicise their work. Get in touch by emailing participation@nottinghamplayhouse.co.uk.
