Theatre at the Warren - Migrant Voices - Tuesday 22nd June The Warren Centre: 47-49 Queen's Dock Avenue. Tuesday 22nd June 7pm Admission Free

Migrant Voices is a production by the Banner Theatre Company about asylum seekers' experiences. Based on in-depth interviews with asylum seekers and refugees in Britain, this new show combines live music, drama and video to show some of the harsh realities behind the media myths about asylum seekers. It tells of people who have fled their homes to escape torture and persecution but have often found themselves the victims of racist abuse and intimidation, with insecure and badly paid jobs and substandard living accommodation.

Migrant Voices interweaves Middle Eastern and British musical traditions. It's an emotionally charged piece of theatre to provide insight into the causes that make people refugees. It aims to set the audience thinking about the real reasons why people abandon their homes and families to seek refuge in the west. Migrant Voices is part of Local Stories / Global Times, a long-term Banner project exploring the impact of globalisation on local communities in Britain. Banner Theatre is based in Birmingham.
