Drama on Multidimensional Poverty

OPHI will present a short play exploring multidimensional poverty at the Ashmolean Museum’s next Live Friday event on 15 May. Entrance to Live Friday is free of charge and the evening runs from 7pm – 10.30pm. 

‘Poverty on the table’, produced and performed by Oxford-based theatre company Justice in Motion, will start at 8.15pm and 9.45pm in the Ashmolean’s lecture theatre and run for approximately 15 minutes. 

Live Friday: Social Animals has been organised in collaboration with the University of Oxford’s Social Sciences Division, with many departments and research centres taking part. The Ashmolean’s galleries will be open after hours for an evening of live performances, creative workshops and lively talks showcasing research from across the division.
