RIRA the award winning Iranian theatre company are bringing their new show "RECUR" a very important piece of work to the UK. RECUR (meaning repeating) is centred around their lived experiences as women living in Iran . They say "In this piece, we want to be the silent voice of half a century of women and girls who have suffered self-censorship due to social pressure, but in recent days, girls raised by destroyed women have risen up and shouted for their right to freedom, unfortunately, in some countries, women are oppressed by patriarchal society, they are not allowed to sing and they are not allowed to dance They are imprisoned, whipped and raped, because they just want to be free".The show will be hosted in collaboration with The Rose Hill and Other Asias, featuring another musical performance TBA and a couple of Iranian short films TBA. Nothing on YouTube due to restrictions but we will share video content on SM channels.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
