'Our Stories'

We are working towards our latest Theatre peice 'Our Stories'. It will be performed at Hamilton House on Thursday 9th December 2010. This event is a showing of work in progress that we would like people to come and see and tell us what they think of it. We will present sketches and ideas and invite the audience to give us their opinions about how we can develop it creatively.

'Our Stories' is a theatrical performance using childhood memories and personal insights into our lives which we want to share with other people.

Performance starts at 1:00pm, arrive at 12:30pm for tea and homemade cake!

For more information about the performance please contact Tony Holdom at misfits_theatre_co@hotmail.co.uk or telephone on 07910962329.

Respect

TREAT ME WITH RESPECT

When you have learning difficulties

You get called bad names.

People just don’t see me,

The way I really am.

It makes me feel cut off

As if no one wants me around

But deep within me I know that’s untrue

I do have belief in myself

And my own self-respect

If people could just see who I really am

And treat me as an equal

Then they would know the real me

I’m no different to anyone else

I just need the respect I deserve

And the future will be ok

So think carefully before you scorn me

With your bigoted, ignorant attitudes

I am a person in my own right

As others who have a learning difficulty

We should all be united as one equal

Out with prejudices! Out with ignorance!

Respect and tolerance is what we need

And this is what we are going to get

If we fight for what we want

Those who choose to remain against us

With their scorn and derision

Are their own worst enemy!!!!!!!!
