Writer, Composer and Grime Artist Jammz said: “Between the Lines is inspired by the
imagination and bravery of those who put themselves on the line, to not only play the music they were so passionate about, but to give communities like the one I came from a voice too. For me, this play is about standing up against the censorship that the establishment enacts on minority groups in this country, and how art can be a vehicle for us to speak out about the issues we face as a society. This is especially relevant now, where views which don’t fit within the establishment’s agenda are suppressed and deplatformed.”
The creative team behind the production includes designs by Tina Torbey, video design by Mic Pool, lighting design by Alex Forey, cosrtume design by Lambdog1066 and sound design by Jack Baxter.
