Every year, the Annual Access to Justice Play, in collaboration with BABSEACLE and the Gate Theater, shines a spotlight on critical issues of justice and equality through compelling theatrical narratives. This year’s production, The Asylum Monologues, will be performed from 5-7 November 2025 in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Drawing on the lived experiences of people who have gone through the UK’s asylum system, The Asylum Monologues weaves together personal testimonies, public discourse, and compelling facts to offer a thought-provoking perspective on seeking refuge. The performance will be followed by a 25-minute post-performance discussion, creating space for reflection and meaningful conversation.

Why It Matters

Displacement and forced migration present complex legal and human rights challenges, often leaving people to navigate unfamiliar systems while facing uncertainty and exclusion. The Asylum Monologues brings these experiences to life through authentic stories, helping audiences better understand the barriers people seeking refuge encounter and the importance of access to justice for all.
