Sanctuary, a musical directed by Cheryl Martin, a production of Red Ladder Theatre Company in collaboration with Theatre Royal Wakefield & CAPA College, is a story of a young Iranian man's hopes for help and support in a time when not all strangers are welcomed. His cry for sanctuary at St. Mary's Church in a northern town sparks a community to react in all the ways each member believes to be right. A young worker joins forces with the vicar to resist both the angry vigilantes and the hard-hearted authorities beyond the church walls to try to protect this young man.

With a chorus drawn from students at Wakefield's CAPA College, Boff Whalley and Sarah Woods' musical mixes hard-hitting ideas with memorable melodic tunes and harmonies.

The musical is kindly supported by the Mayor of West Yorkshire's Safer Communities Fund.

All performances will be captioned via The Difference Engine, a tool that enables deaf and hard-of-hearing people to read performance on their phone.
