Information for Sanctuary at Leeds Playhouse (formerly West Yorkshire Playhouse), Leeds (Musical). When Alland, a young Iranian man, begs to be given sanctuary at St Mary's church in a Northern town, it sparks a mixed reaction with the community. Some call for his protection. Others for his removal. Molly, a young worker at the church, joins forces with vicar Fiona to try to protect Alland, resisting both the angry vigilantes and the hard-hearted authorities beyond the church walls. A brand-new musical that welcomes us in and asks: do we want safety and freedom for only ourselves, or for us all?
