We invited residents to make a flower in memory of a loved one who is no longer with us.

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.

We’re delighted to be working with refugees and asylum seekers, from Afloat Theatre, who are exploring themes of ‘The Maids’ through creative workshops with Phoebe Dawn Mcsweeney.

They shared their thoughts about power, oppression and modern day slavery with the actors.
