A Play About Kenmure Street

Hi, I'm Simon jay, a playwright based in Scotland. The events of 13th May 2021, are forever etched into my memory. Where the community of Pollokshields stopped the dawn raid perpetrated by the UK Home Office/ A sign of direct action that was successful, the solidarity of a community - it's a story we need to explore more than ever with what is happening currently in our politics and around the world!

It’s about Lakhvir Singh and Sumit Sehdev, two men who had lived in Pollokshields for 10 years, a chef and a mechanic, who were dragged from their home by immigration officers, put in the back of a van, and sat for 8 hours, without knowing what was happening outside.

We are hoping the community of Pollokshields will come to the show and help shape the show, so after our performance they'll be time to talk and make contact with the creatives, and give feedback.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
