Not in My Name

T2101727172
Saturday afternoon. In town with your mates. Doing some shopping. Or maybe watching the match. When the bomb goes off. Then there's Horror. Fear. Anger. Blame. And perhaps you're thinking: 'Not in my Name'. Not in my Name is a bold and challenging play that allows young people to openly, safely and productively discuss issues around terrorism and extremism.

Production details

The play is a direct response to the government’s Prevent Agenda, which from September 2009, asks all schools to explore the topic as part of the citizenship curriculum. The play has already received a tremendous response for responsibly and ethically addressing the topic head on in a manner both accessible and suitable to young people aged 14+. This version of the play will be specifically tailored to our area following a research period in Merseyside. Not in my Name realistically portrays the aftermath, community impact and personal consequences of a fictional terror attack as told from the perspective of a group of young characters. The production concludes with a structured interactive forum session that rewinds events of the play, and gives audiences an opportunity to discuss grievances and alternative courses of action.
