In April 2015 The Freedom Theatre will premiere a brand new production across the West Bank and then embark on the theatre’s\u00a0first ever tour of the UK.<\/p>\n
The Siege<\/em>\u00a0is drawn from the extraordinary accounts of a group of fighters who during the height of the second Intifada took refuge in the Church of the Nativity. As the Israeli army closed in, the fighters and some 200 civilians were trapped in the church for 39 days. The play uses both theatre and visual arts to portray an event that with time has taken on almost mythical proportions.\u00a0Read more<\/a>.<\/p>\n OPENING<\/span> April 4\u00a0is also the fourth anniversary\u00a0of the unsolved murder of Juliano Mer Khamis, co-founder of The Freedom Theatre. On this day we remember and honour Juliano\u2019s life, work and legacy, while we repeat\u00a0our demand that those responsible for this crime be brought to justice. The memorial starts at 12:00 and includes film screenings and a photo exhibition.\u00a0Read more.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n OTHER PERFORMANCES AT THE FREEDOM THEATRE<\/span> Friday April 17 at 18:00 UK TOUR
