Plays From Palestine
Entry Requirements: Over 18s only
Tickets bookable online. Walk-ups on the night also welcome.
BSL Interpreted event.
The event on the 16th will share works from theatre-makers and artists across Palestine including:
Readings from Freedom Theatre's initiative A Revolution's Promise
New testimonies from the Gaza Monologues 2023 by Ashtar Theatre
Script-in-hand reading of Born in Bethlehem, created by Al Harah Theatre
This event draws our attention to the long history of Israel's brutal occupation, and zooms in on the different ways the Palestinian cultural sector has been targetted.
The night will close with discussions about how theatre makers, arts workers and Glasgow citizens can support the Palestinian struggle.
This is not the beginning of the story and our event is a community action that's part of the growing demand from people across the world horrified by the war crimes being inflicted upon Palestinians by Israel. We call for an immediate and unequivocal CEASEFIRE and demand the UK Government withdraws its support for Israeli war crimes and immediately ends arms sales to Israel.
The event is free with all organisers, contributors and performers donating their time. On the night we will have buckets and will be collecting donations for Medical Aid for Palestine: https://www.map.org.uk/
We recognise that for our disabled colleagues there are substantial barriers to participating in many forms of public gathering and activism. We are working to ensure the event is accessible as possible and will post updates here. If you have specific access needs you'd like to discuss in advance, please contact us via Eventbrite with your preferred contact and one of the organisers will be in touch.
