THE BOGUS WOMAN COMES TO THE LPAC!
a hard-hitting play about immigration
We are Breaking Stories Theatre Company.
Breaking Stories exists to inspire the audience to look into the truth behind the headlines and break the stigma of immigration.
We are an all-female company with an all-female cast. We are in our final year of study at the University of Lincoln and would like to take this opportunity to bring together everything we have learned to present to you a professional and informative piece of political theatre.
We are staging a performance of The Bogus Woman by Kay Adshead. The play concentrates on the controversial topic of immigration. After publishing something critical of her country’s regime, a woman writer from an unnamed ambiguous country flees to England to escape torture and death. Seeking a place of refuge and safety, she finds herself once more a prisoner and a victim of racial and sexual abuse.
We believe that everyone should be given a voice and be free to live safe from prejudice and victimisation. We believe that theatre can broaden people’s minds, and change people’s opinions and beliefs. Our production will blow the lid off the myth of ‘bogus’ asylum seekers, and break open the stories of the people that exist behind the headlines.
GET IN OR STAY OUT. THE COUNTRY IS ENGLAND. THE TIME IS NOW.
