Featuring four new plays written and devised in collaboration with
groups of secondary school children, this collection examines
immigration to and emigration from the UK. A theatre-in-education
project coordinated by Tamasha theatre company and The Migration
Museum, children worked on exercises designed to develop their
understanding of, and feelings about, migration. Their reactions
were then incorporated into a piece of theatre by a professional
playwright that the students then performed. This collection brings
together these plays along with the unique exercises that inspired
them. The plays include: Nothing to Declare by Sharmila Chauhan
follows three precious keepsakes and the stories attached to them
as their owners are stopped at a hostile border. Potato Moon by
Satinder Chohan focuses on the potatoes buried in a share
allotment. They become people's memories in a magical realist
Southall and so when they start to go missing, schoolgirl Mira set
out to find out why. Wilkommen by Asif Khan follows 11 year Ammar
on the most dangerous journey of his life, from war-torn country,
across sea and land, to take up the offer of a new life in Europe.
Jigsaw by Sumerah Srivstav tells the story of how three angels,
horrified by mankind's cruelty, prepare to wipe them out... until
they find an unlikely friend who changes their mind. This is an
invaluable collection that gives both teachers the resources to
address the sometimes tricky issues surrounding migration and
students the opportunity to create and in doing so counteract and
humanize the narratives hear in the media and society as a whole.
