There’s a van on your street. It says IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT on the side. It’s here for your neighbours. What do you do?
Fusing documentary with celebratory dance theatre, These Are Our Neighbours revisits the attempted raid on Kenmure Street in 2021 that became an eight-hour act of shared resistance, where an entire community mobilised to protect two people from deportation. Written by Katharine Williams (Miracle on Deanston Drive) and developed in collaboration with the community of Pollokshields, These Are Our Neighbours blends testimony, movement, music and light to tell an inspiring story of everyday humanity, solidarity and courage.

“He takes hold of my wrist. His thumb is on the vein. His eyes into my eyes. I don’t pull away. Then I do, I pull away.”
Liane is a single mother, a survivor of abuse, now trying desperately to shield her ten-year-old daughter from the world’s dangers. As her daughter suffers bullying, Liane has a real-world encounter with the Manosphere that stokes her rage. Mother and daughter take up boxing. They develop a taste for violence. They plot their revenge…
SLAYERS is a tense contemporary drama that asks: How can we arm our daughters against the world? What happens when our anger makes us go too far? When does revenge stop feeling righteous – and how do we find a better way?
