Take up the opportunity to watch a show and get involved in workshops, developed as part of the Refugee Voice Project!
How to be Lucky is a theatre performance and workshop that seeks to examine aspects of the modern refugee experience of settling in the UK and particularly in the Yorkshire Region. The performance focusses on the story of Anwar, a 30 year old Syrian man and his wider family, as he recounts his and their personal journey from Syria to the UK. This is the story of millions of people who find themselves forced to pack a final bag and to escape from an unbearable situation in the place they have always known as home.
Throughout the production there will be breaks in the action in which the company will invite the audience to take part in discussions and exercises, allowing the time and space for the audience to think about Anwar's story (and the stories of so many others), and explore their thoughts and feelings about the subject
These performances and workshops have been developed as part of the Refugee Voice Project. Free tickets are being offered across Yorkshire, with the Wakefield and Leeds performances being the closest to Halifax and Calderdale.
