Gang Culture Project with Leicester Y Theatre
Women & Theatre have been commissioned by Leicester Y Theatre to produce Bare Drama, a new piece of theatre exploring gang culture and gang prevention. The piece explores the reasons why young people become involved in gangs, and the consequences, including criminal activity, that may follow. Writer and Director Michael Aduwali researched extensively amongst young people in Leicester to create a lively script that rings true with real life experiences.
Bare Drama will tour to schools and youth centres in Leicester in November. Aimed as a preventative tool, the piece encourages young people to look at the consequences of their actions and make informed choices. Director, Michael Aduwali, commented, “This is exciting co-production with the Y that promises to be an energetic and moving piece will make young people think and hopefully affect change.”
We are keen to explore opportunities for this piece to be performed in other areas where this issue is a concern, and if you are interested in the project please do contact us.
