Film screening of Aisha at Cheltenham Playhouse

Get ready for our 2024 Film Night! We’ll be screening ‘Aisha’ starring Letitia Wright and Josh O'Connor at the Cheltenham Playhouse on Tuesday 10 September 2024.

Aisha, a young Nigerian woman seeking asylum in Ireland, is floundering in a maze of social services and bureaucracy. Alone and unwilling to sacrifice her dignity to satisfy the demands of the authorities, she finds an ally in Conor, an employee at her residence home, a local young man with a troubled past of his own. Together they struggle to maintain their tender friendship in the face of Aisha’s increasingly dire predicament and her rapidly diminishing options.

This event is part of a series of ‘Mayor’s Charities’ events for 2024. CWR is grateful to by chosen as one of the Mayor’s Charities along with Aim Up, Friends of Sandford Park and CCP. Funds raised from the event will be split between the four charities.
