GLOD: Political Theatre as a Civil Right starts Monday 6 July 2020 with BÉZNĂ Theatre’s ILLEGALISED.

ILLEGALISED is an international, multi-lingual production exposing the dehumanising effects of the British State’s anti-immigration policies on migrants and those seeking asylum in the UK. ILLEGALISED ruthlessly investigates the Immigration Industrial Complex and the vast profit made by the Home Office and its corporate partners from the illegalisation of human beings.

The piece toured the UK in Spring 2019, and is the first in BÉZNĂ Theatre’s cycle of multi-lingual plays denouncing Britain’s dehumanising of people for power and profit from colonial times to today.
