Prisoners of the Occupation

This event has ended

Smock Alley Theatre, Tuesday 20th May - Thursday 22nd May

This powerful and thought-provoking piece of political theatre was written by Einat Weizman, an Israeli Jewish citizen, in conjunction with two Palestinian political prisoners. It shines light on the plight of Palestinian prisoners, the most hidden victims of the Israeli occupation, focusing on the personal and collective experiences of the prisoners and their families.

The play is the result of a long research process of interviewing and hearing testimonies from prisoners and ex-prisoners, who are actively involved at every stage of the creation of this show. The prison experiences uncovered include interrogations, hunger strikes, solitary confinement and family visits, as well as diving into the prisoners’ consciousness.

The play reveals a harrowing and brutal reality but also an account of human endurance and solidarity.

10% of all ticket sales will go to Addameer, the Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association.

Warnings: This production contains scenes depicting violence, torture, oppression, sexual violence, and the psychological impact of incarceration. Some moments may be intensely emotional and triggering for audiences. Audience discretion advised.

Pavilion Theatre

To Hell in a Handbag by Helen Norton & Jonathan White. The Secret Lives of Canon Chasuble & Miss Prism. This subversively funny take on Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest returns for a 10th anniversary tour, having sold out previous runs in Ireland & the UK. While others are preoccupied with cucumber sandwiches and railway cloakrooms, two minor characters from Earnest are up to their necks in something else. A country rector and a governess, models of Victorian propriety in public. But in private? This is the play behind the play: a tale of blackmail, false id
