This very successful project was first staged at The Bush Theatre in London in Jan/Feb 2006. After a great run at the Assembly Rooms at the Edinburgh Festival, Dialogue Productions is now taking it on a national tour and it is imperative to us that we run workshops for young adults alongside the show, exploring the message of the play – inter-faith tolerance and communication. To this end we employed Laura McFall from the RNT to organise and run the workshops which will reach approximately 250 youngsters at 7 venues across the UK. This award has been a vital contribution to the travel costs of our workshop facilitator and we are very grateful to Danny’s family.
