The Ice and Fire Theatre Company is bringing the Asylum Monologues, which was launched by Amnesty International in 2006 and has been touring the country ever since, to the restaurant in Clemens Street at 7pm.

With a script that is regularly updated with new testimonies, the aim of the play - written by Ice and Fire founder Sonja Linden - is to give a voice to those within the system.
