Sanctuary

Sanctuary This play deals with the issue of sanctuary – a place of safety. It does this by creating a situation based partly on fact and partly on fiction. A man is about to be deported. He has exhausted all the possible legal options to remain in the country and when these fail he seeks refuge in his local church claiming sanctuary. The play considers the legal aspects of this both historically, and in terms of today. It addresses the relationship between civil and church law. It looks at how individuals, and the community, can provide support or condemnation perhaps coloured by their own experiences and media hype. The play also touches on our own private and public thoughts. This play has a cast of 14 many roles can be doubles as appropriate some doubling possible
