Night of the Imprisoned Writer<\/h1>\n
\n
Tuesday 15 November, 7.30pm (Doors at 7pm)<\/div>\n
Venue: <\/strong> The Tabernacle, 34-35 Powis Square, London, W11 2AY<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A unique performance evening to mark the 30th annual Day of the Imprisoned Writer, in association with ice&fire theatre company.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hello Mr Miller, Hello Mr Pinter<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Don’t miss your chance to see this special one-off performance in which the powerful words of persecuted writers from Mexico to Bahrain, from Kenya to Azerbaijan, have been woven together by award-winning playwright Sonja Linden and English PEN’s Cat Lucas. Directed by Christine Bacon and performed by Actors for Human Rights, ‘Hello\u2026’ is both a moving celebration of PEN’s work on behalf of imprisoned and persecuted writers around the world and a concrete testament to the bravery of those writers who, often at great risk to themselves and their families, continue to speak out. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Stand Up For Writers In Prison<\/strong><\/p>\n

And because no-one speaks out quite like a comic, we’re delighted to be bringing you some of today’s finest acts to illustrate what freedom of speech is all about\u2026…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tickets are \u00a310 and all proceeds will go directly to English PEN’s Writers in Prison Programme.<\/p>\n
