| PSS LIVERPOOL In 2007, Playback Theatre Manchester was asked to do a performance for young refugees and asylum seekers who are accessing a counselling service run by PSS in Liverpool. The organisation was so pleased with the young people's response to the performance, we were asked to return for a series of five performances and a day of Playback workshops. One playback actor said, 'Listening to the stories of the young people was so moving. Many of these children have been through experiences of terror and loss which are beyond anything we could imagine. It was a challenge and a privilage to be trusted with these stories, and to be part of the process of healing. The project was theatrically challenging, as we had to work in up to 5 different languages but in collaboration with the interpreters, we adapted our practice and developed effective working methods which meant everyone shared the full experience. PSS is hoping to be able to run a similar programme annually. If you want to know more about the PSS project, you can request a report which will be available shortly.
