PROGRAMME OF THEATRE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

Brothers

By Tunde Euba

Taiwo and Kehinde (Tai & Ken to their peers) are twin brothers. At odds
from birth, they are as different as they are alike. Unpicking the highs
and lows of their past, they must resolve their differences in order to
overcome an uncertain future. Will they both disappear in a haze of hate
and despair or find that 'light at the end of the tunnel'?

In the play 'Brothers' we meet a pair of 2nd generation Nigerian twins
growing up in the streets of London. Ken, with his traditional ideas and
values, is becoming increasingly alienated from Tai, who lives by the
ethics of the street.  It's a complex and potentially dangerous sibling
rivalry where anger, violence and membership of a polarised street
culture clash with family loyalty.

The Brothers Project is part of a wider agency programme and will be
offered to secondary schools across London in the second half of 2010.
This will be a programme where GLYPT, CO19 of the metropolitan police
and other agencies work together to challenge and explore street
violence in a residency style day long programme.

 During March 2010 GLYPT will be showcasing "Brothers" a short new short
play to a secondary schools in Boroughs across London. This
performance will be used to showcase the project to crime prevention and
other local authority agencies.

 Ultimately the Brothers programme will be targeted at boroughs and areas
with those boroughs where violent street crime is prevalent and where
gang culture and fear are a concern.

To book performances in the Spring, Summer or Autumn terms of Brothers for your school or local authority please email catherine@glypt.co.uk
