A GROUNDBREAKING play about domestic violence is being shown at Oxford Town Hall in a bid to raise awareness about the issue.

The 45-minute play, produced by Certain Curtain Theatre Company, will be staged free on Tuesday, March 18. It will be followed by a discussion with writers and actors.

The play, which is not suitable for under-16s, is being supported by Oxford Safer Communities Partnership and Oxfordshire Women's Aid.

Writer Claire Moore said the play sought to answer the question of why victims of domestic violence do not leave and give a voice to thousands of people who were unable to speak out.
