Open Clasp Theatre's Performance - A Twist of Lemon - 4th Sept 2009

Open Clasp Theatre are a women's theatre group who consult local people in the region to form a play with many of the issues that women face in a fun and informative way. They firstly consult with people from all over the region to find out issues and then they form them into characters. A play is then written about the issues, it goes back out to consultation and then goes live. OCT workers learn about the issues in the play by going to courses and reading so that they are able to characterise them in an accessible way.

The next play is called A Twist of Lemon and is about the issues that lesbians face and the discrimination. It will be a performance at the Bangladeshi Centre with food and a workshop with will focus on the issues faced in the play.

This play is for women only as it is about issues that lesbians face and we feel that it would be beneficial for women to learn and communicate in the workshops in a risk free and safe environment.
