The Grip - A live production about families, separation and the Windrush

  • Gloucester Guildhall 23 Eastgate Street Gloucester UK (map)

"Growing up in Jamaica, all my cousins knew their mother because they grew up with her – I was the only child that didn’t really have her mum around and it was an isolating experience. You know, I still haven’t overcome it fully"

WHAT TO EXPECT

Be part of the live audience in Gloucester Guildhall for a one-off, one-hour radio production discussing families, separation and the Windrush.

Drawing on real interviews and films from film-maker Daniel Folley and curator Donville Williams, the panel of guests give their responses and invite the audience to ask questions and offer their stories and experiences.

Hosted by BBC’s Kevin Philemon with guests including Bristol’s first Poet Laureate Miles Chambers and Gloucester psychotherapist Audrey James.

Produced and directed by Philippa Smith.
