Show exploring impact of domestic violence coming to Leeds

An innovative collaboration between journalists and theatre makers is bringing stories and reporting about domestic violence to the stage.

The Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ) has launched Refuge Woman, a spoken-word show inspired by real events, which is touring to eight locations across the country where local journalists have worked on an investigation into the state of domestic violence funding.

The production will be in Leeds on Thursday night and features a one-woman show, performed by Cash Carraway who has written the piece based on her own experiences of living in a refuge, followed by a talk from local journalists presenting the findings of their long-term investigation with TBIJ.
