Quakers in Epping have had a busy few months and you can read all about it in our October Newsletter 2017 (PDF). We were particularly pleased to have a full house for a performance by ice&fire of their piece “Asylum Monologues”.
Epping Quakers present Asylum Monologues by ice&fire
‘This waiting for the Home Office to decide … it is a diplomatic form of torture.’
Asylum Monologues is a first-hand account of the UK’s asylum system in the words of people who have experienced it. Launched at Amnesty International in June 2006, it has been touring the UK ever since.
This free theatre event will take place on Sunday 1st of October from 2pm and is presented as part of Quaker Week with a retiring collection for Refugee and Migrant Forum of Essex & London (RAMFEL).
Refreshments will be available along with a Q&A after the performance.
To tell us you are coming and for more information see our EventBrite booking page.

They perform to thousands of people every year across the UK, telling stories from refugees and asylum seekers, people in poverty, undocumented migrants, women in Afghanistan and more.
