Death-in-custody group Inquest is hosting Q&A sessions after two performances of the Chickenshed Theatre Company’s As the Mother of a Brown Boy this month. The production, ‘a moving and powerful piece, using dance, physical theatre, live music and multimedia to present an extraordinary story of injustice, identity and love’, was inspired by the story of Mischa Niering, who died in 2005 following a police pursuit after an attempted jewellery raid. Members of the panel will include Kim Williams, mother of Lexy Williams, who died during a police pursuit in north London; Marcia Willis-Stewart, a solicitor at Birnberg Peirce and member of the Inquest Lawyers Group; and Mischa’s aunt Christine Niering, director of dance at Chickenshed. Come along to the Bernie Grant Arts Centre in North London today or the Drum Theatre, Birmingham on 21 May.
