Not In My Name, written and directed by Alice Bartlett, is a newly commissioned theatre production performed by young people. It explores the aftermath of a terror attack in a small northern town.Seventy-five per cent of the text is the actual words spoken by young people and community figures in the research phaseof the project which made for real and cutting edge theatre. Performed by young people, Muslim and non-Muslim, the play explores the impact on the local community honing in on the stories of people at the scene, the authorities and the family and friends of the attacker.This play has attracted much interest from Lancashire Police, and other forces look like they will adopt the play too. There will be a big launch for the play in London in November.
Alice Bartlett has worked extensively as a director in regional theatre. In addition to Not in My Name she has written three full-length plays which have all been produced regionally: Frankenstein (Lichfield Garrick), Such a Curious Dream and Silence of a Dale (both for Harrogate Theatre; the latter also adapted for BBC Television).
