Silent Screams

7th-9th June 20:00

Learning Through The Arts presents Silent Screams; a captivating story of courage, resistance and self–sacrifice.

Written by Ademola Adeniji and Directed by Sally Barnard.

Set in Nyasaland (Malawi) in 1917, a church minister’s attempt to stop the forced conscription of local men into the army brings him in conflict with the might of the colonial authority.

Through a blend of audience participation and physical theatre, the audience are taken on a journey based on a true story less told.

Silent Screams brings to the fore the involvement of Africans in the Great War, just as it replicates the conflict amongst European powers in their African colonies.
