I really enjoyed the play and found it to be both entertaining and thought provoking. It injected realism into a very challenging, yet often misunderstood area.

The play was superb, extremely well written and performed. All parts of the day were excellent - an outstanding personal experience!!

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Wainwright Trust's formation and to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the death of David Wainwright, a new theatrical play was produced by The Garnett Foundation and staged at the Lilian Baylis Theatre, Sadlers Wells. The play, entitled Twenty Years' Hard Labour, was written by Amanda Osborne and puts Equality in employment on trial.

The audience of 120 senior employment law specialists and practitioners watched this thought provoking play where Equality in Employment stood accused of ‘disappointing those who have believed in you, those who have fought for you and all those you needed to serve’. Following the play the audience voted and found the Equality in Employment guilty by a margin on 57% to 43%.

One of those present summed up her reaction in an email to the Trust, as follows:

"Congratulations on an entertaining and inspiring celebration last night. I was so impressed by the play – a brilliant idea – and the whole evening was very well thought out. There was a really buzzy atmosphere over supper. I met lots of interesting people, most of whom were new to me, and everyone was friendly and bubbling over with enthusiasm for what we’d just seen.  A great evening - thank you so much."

During the evening presentations and awards were given to individuals who have demonstrated a dedication to equality and human rights. For full details see www.wainwrighttrust.org.uk

The play will make an excellent contribution to senior level conferences, HR events, Diversity celebrations, award events and training conferences. For details contact: Andy Garnett 01494 794264  andygarnett@thegarnettfoundation.com
