Deadeye

Deadeye
Deema is a good daughter and a loving sister. It's her family that's the problem. In their back garden in Birmingham, her mum Zainab is nurturing plants from Kashmir and her dad Rafique is day-dreaming of million-pound homes in the Cotswolds. Meanwhile, out on the streets, her mixed up brother Tariq is rapidly going from bad to worse. She's doing her best to hold it all together, but it's time for them to learn a few home truths. Deadeye paints a fresh and uncompromising portrait of modern life, exposing the misunderstandings and hypocrisies that divide the generations.

these Four Streets

Synopsis:
In October 2005 the rumour of a rape sparked disturbances in Lozells, Birmingham, that led to the killing of one man, widespread damage and a fracture between two communities that had previously appeared to be living happily alongside one another. Inspired by the views, hopes and fears of local people connected to or affected by the disturbances, these Four Streets is an engaging and hopeful play that highlights a community's fight to stay together. a collaboration between six young female writers, these Four Streets explores the power of rumour and what it's like to live in a place that has been written off.

Twelve

Synopsis:
Twelve touching and sometimes humorous monologues inspired by true stories about friendship, first love, defiance, death and survival. Twelve is a creative response to the shocking statistic that on average twelve women are killed in the UK every year by family members in so-called 'honour based violence'. Twelve writers have created a unique theatre event to highlight this all-too-common issue and to give a voice to those who have tragically lost their lives. The stories are interwoven with modern dance, expressing the freedom of the women's spirit and the conflict between cultural tradition and modernity.

Notes:
Written by Sonali Bhattacharyya, Sharmila Chauhan, Satinder Chohan, Azma Dar, Tanika Gupta, Bettina Gracias, Sayan Kent, Yasmeen Khan, Anu Kumar, Amber Lone, Nessah Muthy and Yasmin Whittaker-Khan. Inspired by True Stories
