Book tickets for an exclusive screening of Rattle Snake followed by an expert panel discussion on Wednesday 5 March
We are inviting supporters to mark ten year’s since a landmark law change around coercive control was introduced by attending a special screening of Open Clasp Theatre Company’s play, Rattle Snake, at The Forum Music Studios in Darlington on Wednesday 5 March from 6 – 9pm.
Rattle Snake is a powerful play inspired by the real-life stories of women who experienced and survived coercive control in domestic abuse.
The screening is being paired with a panel discussion chaired by Director of the Centre for Research into Violence and Abuse (CRiVA) and Professor of Criminology at DurhRattle Snake 2025 Poster (2)am University, Professor Nicole Westmarland, about what difference changing the law has made to survivors of domestic abuse since its introduction, and what priorities for violence against women and girls are anticipated over the next 10 years.
The event will be opened by the Mayor of Darlington and will also include a fundraising raffle.
Tickets can be purchased via Eventbrite for £12.50, with all proceeds going directly towards funding our specialist services.
