Are We There Yet?

Celebrating this year’s Refugee Week theme: Community as a Superpower, Rank & File will be connecting communities with a pop-up tour along the GWR line throughout June, bringing theatre music and comedy to unexpected places.

We are conjuring a world less hostile, one story, one stop at a time. There is still work to be done, pack your bags, grab your hat and come and find us along the line. We’ll be stopping off in Oxford, Swindon, Reading, London Paddington; culminating in Newbury with a new theatre show at The Corn Exchange on Wednesday 25 June.

Are We There Yet? takes a light-hearted approach to some tough issues. Whilst the elites syphon up the wealth and appear to play with our rights like a game, hoarding more than they could spend in a million lifetimes, the rest of us are left wondering: will it ever change?

Told through the lens of our diverse community, drawing on their experiences via comedy, multilingual storytelling, and absurd spectacle, the play delivers a message of hope, unity and compassion. When we experience truth, we find it is not just powerful, it is beautiful.

Please note: There will be a Q&A with the cast hosted by BBC Radio 3's Fiona Talkington after the show.

This performance will include BSL (British Sign Language) for the deaf community, AD (audio description) wheelchair access is also available. This performance is suitable for 12+. If you need BSL interpretation and/or prefer to be near where the interpreters are more visible, please enquire about this via the Front of House staff before the show and ask them for recommendations.
