Silent Cry
Asian Theatre School and Red Ladder Theatre Company
Thursday 16th September, 7.30pm
Theatre in the Mill
Tickets £6.50, £4.00 concessions
How many Policemen does it take to cause the death of 1,000 people in custody? Apparently none.
Justice is blind, but how deaf is it?
SILENT CRY unashamedly tackles the issues that face a family on the verge of imploding, and tells the story of a Mother's journey that begins as her son's life ends. A death in police custody leads to an ordinary family looking for justice from a system that has no answers. The Asian Theatre School presents a story based on true documented evidence and interviews. Each performance is followed by an aftershow discussion with writer/directors and cast.
"It is educational,
painful, and a pleasure."
Bradford Telegraph and Argus
"This is an abrupt,
raw and important drama."
Ruth Little Artistic Associate Young Vic Theatre
Box office: ext 3200 or email: theatre@bradford.ac.uk
