Theatre has a distinct role in reflecting contemporary society, and in influencing, shaping, and interrogating our shared culture.  Are we witnessing a trend towards subtle forms of censorship, underpinned by the government\u2019s national security agenda?  Is support for freedom of expression on the decline?<\/p>\n<p>The panel discussion will be followed by lunch and the matin\u00e9e performance of Behud by Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti.  We will then have an <strong>after-show discussion<\/strong> with <strong>Lisa Goldman<\/strong>, <strong>Hamish Glen<\/strong> and members of the cast, chaired by <strong>Jo Glanville<\/strong> (editor of Index on Censorship).<\/p>\n<p>The discussion events are free and the matinee performance is priced as on theatre website <http:\/\/www.belgrade.co.uk\/site\/scripts\/show_details.php?showID=415> .  For those who wish to attend the whole day we are offering a ticket priced \u00a320, \u00a310 concession to cover a light lunch, refreshments and the matinee performance.
