Big shout out to Afloat Theatre’s refugees and asylum seekers. Over the last four weeks, they’ve been working with the creative team of “The Maids”, financially supported by Arts Council England.

Together, they explored the themes in the play. Their lived experience of oppression, incarceration and power dynamics have informed our interpretation. Our heartfelt thanks to all of you.

Their exhibition is at unity theatre this week.
