Tin Ring, The

Tin Ring, The
The Tin Ring is a dramatisation of Holocaust survival based on a written autobiographical account by Zdenka Fantlova originated and adapted for performance by Arnfield and international theatre director Mike Alfreds in 2011. Funded by Arts Council England it was premiered at The Lowry Salford and has performed nationally and internationally since 2011 from Speakers House Westminster to Summerhall Edinburgh Fringe August 2013 and was selected as part of the British Council International Showcase. The underlying research is concerned with witness testimonies as an interpretive tool, and developed within a performance context in order to reflect upon the life experience of victims and perpetrators of crisis. The Tin Ring developed from a reflective process which sought to better understand the process and efficacy of verbatim testimony as an efficacious route towards improved understanding of the causes and consequences of genocide and mass violence.

Notes:
Adapted by Mike Alfreds and Jane Arnfield from the memoir of a Holocaust survivor, Zdenka Fantlova. Part of Fuses: Live Lab 2012 New Writing Festival
