Actors with refugee, migrant, and asylum backgrounds perform on stage in Newcastle

Finding sanctuary in the most unlikely places is the theme of a play that tells the stories of refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers by professional actors from the same backgrounds.

'Named 'Here', it is a new stage performance, directed by Amy Golding and written by Lindsay Rodden, is part of Curious Monkey’s Arriving project which has been collaborating for 18 months with refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants from all over the world including Sudan, Syria, Angola, and many more.

Writer Lindsay Rodden worked closely with more than 80 people who are now settling in the North East and Derby to create authentic characters for the show being staged at Northern Stage, Newcastle.
