Worklight Theatre’s award-winning show is coming to Falmouth following its critically acclaimed, sold out run at Edinburgh Fringe earlier this year.

Inspired by a racism and equality workshop led by Oscar-winning writer, actor and activist, Emma Thompson, Labels is now on tour across the UK.

Labels draws on writer and performer Joe Sellman-Leava's experiences of being mixed heritage, exploring broader issues of racism, immigration and displacement by examining how we use words and the rise of anti-immigration rhetoric.

Joe said: "When I was four years old, my dad was told our surname might be stopping him from getting a job. So we changed it. It worked."

He added: "We've now had the pleasure of performing Labels 170 times since we started touring in 2015. Each time, without fail, people are eager to talk afterwards about their own experiences of labelling and prejudice.

"Audiences have commented more and more on the increasing relevance of the show - Britain voting to leave the EU, a dramatic increase in hate crimes and the rise of anti-immigration politics across the world. Worklight are determined to keep telling this story in as many places as possible."

Labels by Joe Sellman-Leava will be at the Academy of Music and Theatre Arts at Falmouth University on Friday, October 7 at 7.30pm.

Tickets cost £12 for adults, £10 for concessions, and are available online at amata.org.uk.
