We give voice to the Black British experience and support talent. http://www.talawa.com/ Since the dawn of humankind, men have had two favourite pastimes: war and sex. In 400BC a group of women forced them to choose between the two. Would they continue to fight and die? Or would they make love, not war?

Talawa Young People’s Theatre present Lysistrata, a 21st Century re-working of a timeless play about the bravery of women in the face of conflict. This adaptation of Aristophanes’ classic play has been brought to life by a dynamic group of 18 – 25 year old drama students under the guidance of Talawa Theatre Company.

Refuge in Art hosted artwork created by students in collaboration with local artists, including poetry, photography and performance. The event was of an extremely high standard and all students were shown to be extremely talented young artists, especially the young theatre-makers who worked under the guidance of Talawa Theatre Company.
