domestic abuse
27/04/2019, 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
at Stourbridge Town Hall, Wollaston Studio, StourbridgeROCK AND A HARD PLACE
When it comes to domestic abuse, it’s more than the blows that do the damage.
Written by Lynn Morris and performed by Journeymen Theatre.
Commissioned by Gloucestershire Quakers, all profits from this play will be used to support the work of women’s refuges both in the Gloucester area and nationally.
Supported by Fizzog and Stourbridge Theatre Company.
Kayleigh is a talented teenager whose life should be full of promise. Instead, she finds herself in a cycle of domestic abuse from which there seems not escape until Aunty Jan helps her find a way out, after twenty long years of ‘put up and shut up’.
Based on a true story, together with the combined true life experiences shared by other women, the play explores the complex nature of domestic abuse, ranging form coercion in its many forms to women’s deaths at the hands of abusive partners.
Rock and a Hard Place also reveals the impact of funding cuts on the refuge system and on support available for women like Kayleigh and is an appeal to all of us to both recognise and highlight this major human rights issues our own communities.
