We are currently partnering with the University of Birmingham's Department of History on its research project into the impact of the 1974 Birmingham Pub Bombings on the local Irish community.

​

In the aftermath of the bombings and the momentous events that followed the Irish population of the city became what Prof. Gavin Schaffer of UoB terms 'a suspect community'. 

​

Through drama we will run workshops that consider how this community was, and continues to be, affected and who the 'suspect communities' of today are. What is the long-term legacy for the city of the growth of collective suspicion about significant sections of our population?

​

If you are aged 16 - 25 years old there are opportunities to participate in the workshops. 

​

Times & Dates: 10am - 4pm, 6th 13th 20th & 27th May (all Saturdays)

Cost: Free - but please be available to attend all four workshops

Drama experience not necessary
