Böcker av Luke Barnes

This is a story that is true for us, you, thousands of others across the world moving across the globe and thousands of others waiting to receive them. It is a story. It's not necessarily ours. It is not necessarily yours. But it is true.Melding lived experience with creative theatre-making, refugees Mo and Hossein share stories - both personal and global - that explore the very different journeys taken by unaccompanied minors as they leave their home countries in search of sanctuary. Honest, reflective, challenging and funny, the young performers - both long-standing participants in Leeds Playhouse's Theatre of Sanctuary programme - combine moments of dream-like wonder with unflinching fact sharing, drawing the audience into a direct dialogue and asking them to consider what life is really like for children fleeing danger and seeking a new home in the UK. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at Leeds Playhouse in September 2021.

A captivating, lively and poignant portrait of the pressures of being a teenager and the fight for acceptance in these intertwined monologues about three working class sisters sent to a private school.

A working class musical of unfulfilled dreams.

Luke Barnes's brash bold voice and fine eye for a rowdy tale combine in this play about a family's tradition and one last storytelling competition.
