The Stranger’s Case: Everyword refugee crisis response

Liverpool artists will respond to the refugee crisis at the Everyman this Saturday, presenting The Stranger's Case as part of Everyword presents... Stories from the City.

Frank Cottrell Boyce completes the roster of eight writers, while performers will include Leanne Best, Eileen O’Brien, Kieran Urquhart and Liam Tobin. Actor and e&P board member David Morrissey has also backed the project that will see every penny of ticket sales going to the Charity Help Refugees.

He said: "In the last few years I've visited a number of refugee camps around the world, both official and unofficial ones, including Jordan, Greece, Lebanon and Calais. The plight of these people in 2016 is without doubt the challenge of our age. It is a humanitarian crisis Europe has not seen the like of since World War II.

A short film David Morrissey made for United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees:

“The political points of view about this crisis are diverse and often confusing, but the humanitarian need of these people trying to flee conflict and civil war has to be met with the utmost urgency. I am delighted that Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse have organised this event. Please help in any way you can.”
