Tales of Love and Loss

Picture a mother seeking asylum in the UK. What do you see? A poor helpless refugee who should be pitied or a powerful, resilient woman who would lay down her life for her family? An ignorant woman who can’t speak English or mother with a wealth of knowledge and experience who may well speak many languages. What you imagine may be far removed from reality.

A collaboration between the Refugee Council, White Ribbon Alliance, Maternity Stream of Sanctuary and SBC Theatre. This performance was produced with SBC Theatre, the UK’s first Theatre Company of Sanctuary.

‘Tales of Love and Loss’ is one of three winning commissions for Migration Matters Online Festival 2020.
