Details

Locked up. Shipped around. Sold as sex. In the black of night "Tanja" fled to safety on the shores of England. Another asylum seeker now held at Yarl's Wood Immigration Removal Centre; Britain's best kept secret. Refuge lies just beyond the barbed wire fence, but at what cost? With immigration issues reaching fever pitch, this is the story of one woman's bravery in the midst of prejudice and abuse. This is what she would have said, if only we'd let her... An impassioned call to arms, a play and a campaign. "Tanja" blends spoken word, drama, dance, puppetry, live music, sign language and verbatim theatre.
