A Song to Sing

A drama and theatre project working with Black, Asian and/ or minority ethnic women including women from Gypsy/ Traveller Communities

A Song to Sing is the company’s latest project, starting in April 2012. Artistic Director & Playwright, Catrina McHugh will be working with a variety of women’s groups from across the North East to discover the stories they want to tell (the songs they want to sing) by delving into the lived experiences of women from Traveller, Asylum and Refugee communities.

This piece of theatre will tour during February and March 2013 throughout the North East region.
