The Centrepoint Theatre in Palmerston North is determined to get people thinking and talking about the current refugee crisis.
On 28 May (Amnesty International Day) they launch the Plays with a Purpose season – three plays questioning whether countries like ours have a responsibility to help displaced refugees. The plays are Angie Farrow's The Politician's Wife (which was shortlisted for the 2016 Adam NZ Play Award), international hit White Rabbit Red Rabbit and a reading of Lampedusa by Anders Lustgarten.
