Yarl's Wood Detention Centre. Bedford. 2015. A time you will know but a place you cannot. With
unique access through the Yarl's Wood Befrienders, Untold Arts brings you stories from the

undergone torture in their home countries, but not all forms of torture leave scars…
An unlikely tale of humour, love and hardship, using different languages, physical and verbatim
theatre The Scar Test will take you on an unforgettable journey through a dark world under lock
and key.
The Scar Test is written by Hannah Khalil (The Deportation Room and Last of the Pearl Fishers
BBC Radio 4, Scenes from 68 Years Arcola, the Meyer-Whitworth Award nominated
Plan D Tristan Bates. She is currently working with BBC Drama in the development of her latest
project) and directed by Audrey Sheffield (Director: Almost Near, Finborough Theatre; June, The
Park Theatre; Apples Theatre 503, The Little Flowers of East Orange, National Theatre Studio
Assistant Director: Electra Old Vic Theatre, One Man, Two Governors, Theatre Royal Haymarket,
The Effect, National Theatre).

panellists from Women for Refugee Women after each performance. All ticket proceeds will be
donated to the local Bedford charity Yarl's Wood Befrienders.
"Immigration Detention has to change dramatically. An All Party Parliamentary Group recommends a limit to
detention of 28 days, so a play raising awareness is very timely.” Heather Jones Yarl's Wood Befrienders
"As a Palestinian-Irish dramatist, Khalil writes with feeling about homelessness, migration and a culture in
which masculinity is equated with ownership." - Michael Billington, The Guardian on Meyer-Whitworth Award nominated Plan D
