Seven Years with Hard Labour – ice&fire theatre
Tuesday 6th July, 7pm
Library Theatre, Central Library, Surrey St, Sheffield, S1 1 XZ
We hope you can join us for this exciting event: the Sheffield Premiere of Seven Years With Hard Labour – the stories of former Burmese political prisoners now living in the UK. There are currently over 2100 political prisoners incarcerated in Burma. This play weaves together four accounts from former Burmese political prisoners now living in the UK. Through their engaging, divergent and often humorous stories, a damning picture of a ruthless military regime is painted.
This performance is a feature of the Sheffield Summer of Sanctuary and as part of this event we will also be performing our flagship production, Asylum Monologues, the following week: Tues 13th July @ 7:00pm, Library Theatre, Sheffield. Details at www.iceandfire.co.uk.
