A secondary school performance followed by a professional play based on the reminiscences of grandparents of Lewisham school children
A Place for Me is a professional play based on the reminiscences of grandparents of children who attend Lewisham schools. It tells the stories of Clemence and Iris who migrated from the Caribbean to Lewisham in the 1960s.
There will also be a short devised performance created in response to ‘A Place for Me’ by year 7 students from St Mathew Academy.
