Dr Gëzim Alpion

IF ONLY THE DEAD COULD LISTEN

Dr Gëzim Alpion's new play If Only the Dead Could Listen received its world premiere at the MAC Theatre in Cannon Hill Park in Birmingham on 7 and 8 February 2006

The play was staged by Dreamscape Theatre Company, directed by Marcus Fernando and Duska Heaney. The event was sponsored by the Arts Council England (ACE)  and the Birmingham and Midland Institute (BMI) .

Like Dr Alpion's tragedy Vouchers (2001), which received its first performed rehearsed reading at the Festival of Contemporary European Plays in Huddersfield in March 2002, the new play is about the treatment of asylum seekers and refugees in the UK.
