The rioting last summer in Bradford has fuelled a new stage drama featuring young people from the city.

Red Ladder Theatre Company has spent several months working with people directly affected by the three-day incident.

They have analysed news footage and interviewed Asian elders, businesses, solicitors, taxi drivers and women's groups.

The result is Streets of Rage, said to offer a "fresh and highly personal perspective" on the riots' aftermath.

The play follows the farmers from Bradford and how they are specifically affected by the riots, and the death of someone close to them all.

Madani Younis, the director, says the Asian Theatre School hopes to power and students to deal with the world around them through drama.

Madani adds: "Streets of Rage is an original piece of work touching on issues that will make you laugh, cry and gasp in shock."

Streets of Rage is performed at Bradford Theatre in the Mill on August 16 and 17 (phone 01274 233200), and the West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds on September 5 and 6 (0113 213-7700).
