We are sick of it, being ignoredWe are sick of it, being indoorsNo Guts, No Heart, No Glory explores being young, fearless and doing the unexpected. Working closely with five 16-22-year-old Muslim women and former National Champion boxer Ambreen Sadiq. This play represents a young Muslim female experience of life in the UK. It speaks to young people and will make them feel braver and encourage them to live how they want to live, so that they are free and confident to make their own choices tomorrow.’Common Wealth are an award-winning, Bradford-based company who make site-specific theatre events that are political and contemporary - based in the present day - the here and now. Our ideas are rooted in socialist politics, working class backgrounds, a keen interest in contemporary music/theatre/art/design, the people that we meet and an idealistic ambition to shift things. We see our plays as campaigns, a way of bringing people together and making change feel possible.Aisha Zia is a playwright based in the UK.

       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...
