You are here as a witness
“Have you ever had to leave your house in a hurry, dance down the side of your building or leave with nothing, not even the shoes on your feet?”
You are here as a witness is based upon our award winning production Our Glass House, a site specific verbatim production co-created with survivors of domestic abuse. This new piece incorporates original writing from Our Glass House production and new text from a series of recent interviews held with service users from the Anah Project.
You are here as a witness was presented at Theatre in the Mill, Bradford in November 2022, the project with an open audience and an invited audience of West Yorkshire based organisations and services, who work with domestic abuse survivors including social services, police, midwives and healthcare workers.
