Big Brum Theatre in Education presents
SIEGE
a new play by Chris Cooper
This autumn/winter Big Brum will be touring an extraordinary new programme for young people aged 13+.
Siege, a full-day participatory experience combining theatre with drama workshops, explores the notions of 'self' and society, identity and belief. What does belief amount to when we are left with the world according to 'me'?
Siege will be touring schools from 15th Oct-14th Dec 2007. For more information, to make a booking, or find out about our special offers, contact Claire on 0121 464 4604 or at claire@bigbrum.plus.com

"I have seen the remarkable impact of [Big Brum's] work. I think it is fair to say that Big Brum has been breaking new ground with theatre-in-education for the last 25 years-long may it continue."
Martyn Collin, Principal Adviser, Directorate of Children, Young People and Families, Birmingham City Council.

SIEGE
a new play by Chris Cooper
Rubble and dust. A room with a shattered window. A door without a wall. Inside a man watches and waits.
"They'll flatten everything. Paving the way for democracy."
In the distance a city burns; those who were able to have escaped. A young woman seeks refuge in the ruins. A soldier falters on the relentless march south.The siege is coming to an end and it's time to pick up the pieces and move on to the next one...
Siege, an extraordinary new play for young people aged 13+, is an exploration of 'self' and society, identity and belief.
