WITNESS

WITNESS adapted by Suzann McLean & David Fielding

09 — 11 May, Canada Water Theatre

One moment can change everything. 

Witness at Theatre Peckham brings Alex Wheatle’s powerful story to the stage. 

Cornell navigates life in a Pupil Referral Unit full of young people marginalised by mainstream schools. When he witnesses a shocking act of violence, his world changes forever leaving him torn between speaking out and risking everything, or staying silent to protect those closest to him. 

Intense, urgent and real, Witness explores courage, loyalty and the price of telling the truth.

Special Event: Alex Wheatle Day in collaboration with Words of Colour

Bank Holiday Monday 4th May.

Q&A hosted by Joy Francis (Words of Colour) with Author Derek Owusu, Small Axe: Alex Wheatle actors Sheyi Cole (Alex Wheatle) and Elliot Edusah (Valin), film and TV executive Iyare Igiehon and Suzann McLean (CEO/Artistic Director of Theatre Peckham).
