Following a tour to Australia and New York - this is explosive theatre that will change hearts and minds. An African woman arrives at Heathrow fleeing for her life, seeking asylum. Interrogated, locked up, abused and humiliated she is witness to the brutality of the State and the casual disregard for an individual's human rights. Sarah Niles gives a compelling performance playing 48 characters in 90 minutes. Winner of the First Fringe Award at the Edinburgh Festival this is humane and powerful theatre. “Fragile and beautiful, angry and raw.” - The List “Heart wrenching without descending into sentimentality... Political theatre is alive again.” - Evening Standard |
