Performance - How I Became An Asylum Seeker
posted: 18/11/2009
Women Asylum Seekers Together and Community Arts North West present a performance of How I Became an Asylum Seeker, on Thursday 3 December, in Hulme, Manchester. Free entry but donations welcome.
Monique seeks asylum in the UK after fleeing persecution following the murder of her husband. Isolated in a remote and unsympathetic immigration system, Monique eventually finds support through a women’s asylum self-help group.
It is a work in progress based on a true story, written by Lydia Besong, performed by members of the WAST group, directed by Magdalen Bartlett and supported by Michelle Ugodu (vocals) and Siobhan Mcgurik (video).
