Broken Chains - New Play by Michaels Theatre group

Part Two of a hard hitting new play based on Sectarianism, will premier across Dumfries and Galloway over the month of February. Unite Don’t Fight Part 2, 'Broken Chains' will be performed by young people from St. Michaels Theatre Group. The free shows will embark on a pan Galloway tour with performances scheduled to take place in New Galloway, Moffat, Lochfoot and Dumfries.

Unite Don’t Fight Part 2, portrays a gritty and extreme example of Sectarianism. It tells the story of how the lives of four siblings change forever when they uncover some family secrets they wish had remained buried. How can someone else's beliefs change the path of ones life before they've even been born? Find out in this new musical production.

The play has been supported by grants from the Voluntary Action Fund, Scottish Government’s Tackling Sectarianism Small Grant Programme. Written by James Napper and directed by Johanna Walker, the intention of the performances are to raise awareness of sectarianism which blights many communities across Scotland.
