Telling the untold stories of refugees, asylum seekers, people with visible/invisible disability, survivors to inspire and educate. Giving a voice to the voiceless and a platform to promote social change.
Over the past 5 years Rank & File has made theatre with the refugee community, and other marginalised groups in Reading and has got to understand/respond to their needs/interests. We are excited to be working on a new production developing previous work from our last play ‘Where Do We Go From Here?’ at South Street Theatre.
We connect diverse members of the community of all ages to make theatre that highlights that we have more in common than that which divides us. Meeting people with different experiences to our own has made us think differently about society and community, and widened our understanding of perceived barriers, and what we thought we experienced in isolation.
