In the 1990s, Guernsey banned Julia Pascal’s play about a Jewish woman deported from the Channel Islands to Auschwitz during World War II. Now, for the first time ever, Theresa is being performed in Guernsey. JR is hosting this semi-staged rehearsed reading as part of our tour to the islands and it'll be followed by a Q&A.
Venue: St James, Guernsey, GY1 2NZ
Places are extremely limited, so book now to avoid disappointment (click the button below).
