PERFORMANCE IN BIRMINGHAM

What did you learn?

That the Soldiers communicated to their families through code and that Britain made false promises to the Indians about freedom rights … and many Indian soldiers died in their loyalty to Britain / The Crown..

I really liked the performance throughout.  The message was important.
It was really inspirational!!

The family and the linking back to war.  I like how the Indian story could easily be the same as a British story.

Why do you think Theatre is important to share information?

It is good for people who like to learn visually.

It conveys feelings and words into action.

To connect with other people and learn about different subjects.

Helps you see it visually and helps you to understand more.

I like the part where the child would not give up looking for his dad.

I found acting fun!

When during the play, the characters were singing.

When we did our own role plays and the singing.
