A sell-out production of the folk ballad about the forced transportation to Australia of those convicted of minor offences, was linked to todays refugee experiences. It included the journey of a Syrian refugee now living in Derby, who was present on our City of Sanctuary stall to meet the cast after the event.

See previous post for details of the performance at Derby Guildhall.
