📆 TUESDAY 07 APRIL watch CENSUS -  A show by Malandra Jacks - Winner of the Best Performance award at Manchester Culture Awards. Census is socially engaged theatre at its finest. Award-winning duo Malandra Jacks invite you into a world of spellbinding projection, real voices and unapologetic heart. Census is part theatre, part time capsule: a celebration of communities rarely seen on stage. The performance will be followed by a Q&A session afterwards with Josh Wilkinson, Chloe Malandra of Malandra Jacks and James Quinn of Culture Matters. 

📆 WEDNESDAY 08 APRIL A powerful duo of abridged screenings of London Recruits and Unsung Hero - the Jack Jones story, combined into one night of legendary political history and discussion. London Recruits mixes archive footage and first hand testimony into a dramatic telling of a small group of anti-apartheid activists in 1970s Britain. Unsung Hero - the Jack Jones story, made by Liverpool based Hurricane Films, documents trade unionist Jack Jones, from his early experience in the Spanish civil war to a life dedicated to trade unionism and activism even in his retirement. Followed by Molly Dhlamini, South African activist  in discussion with directors of London recruits, and Unsung Hero - Gordon Maine and Sol Pappadopolous.
