0 My Voice Was Heard But It 1
Was Ignored
Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough, Thursday September 15 ad Friday September 16, daily at 7.45pm
A fiercely-honest play about racial identity by breakthrough GhanaianEnglish writer NanaKofi Kufuor comes to Scarborough’s Stephen Joseph Theatre after a successful run at the Edinburgh Festival.
My Voice Was Heard But It Was Ignored was inspired by Kufuor’s experiences growing up in Stockport and working in education with young people from a range of backgrounds. Fifteen-year-old Reece is roughly accosted by the police outside M&S. His teacher Gillian watches as his face is pressed into the wet gravel with a policeman's knee in his back, frozen out of fear for her own safety. The next day, Reece locks them both in her classroom, refusing to relinquish the key.
He wants her to pay and to fully understand the pain of the breakdown of trust her inaction has caused. Nana-Kofi Kufuor said: “Working at a Pupil Referral Unit, I once had a student try to take a knife to stab another student.
Once I’d calmed him down, we sat in the canteen and he explained to me he wasn’t going to go quietly. The police were outside and they took him. I saw him a few weeks later, and he asked why I didn’t help him?
“That rush of guilt changed to anger and to sympathy as he saw me as his protector. But I knew I couldn’t do anything.
"The crux of this play is how two people react to the same situation."
