About the line-up
Fur Pinched in Desert's Thirst
by Anayis Der Hakopian
This poetic SWANA piece follows Nazgûl, a Hyena in harsh sands who refuses to drink from the fruit of the desert’s nectar. Who faces off the questioning and overbearing curiosity of the voiced sands and the presented temptations of water-full plants that mean to quench the ‘thirst’ of heated travellers.
The Lion, the Wimp and the Wardobe
by Sampathawaduge Silva
A one-man show about the racism a mixed-race boy survived, and the racism he quietly turned on himself. Half Irish, half Sri Lankan, pure Essex. Punches on the 11 bus. Shame at the father who came to defend him.
Meet the Parents
by Nicole Latchana
Jess and Andy are in love, living together, and ready for the next milestone: meeting the parents. But as dinner draws closer, a knot of lies begins to unravel, leaving Andy wondering if she knows Jess at all, and Jess wondering how long she can keep everything from falling apart.
PROPHETS
by Daniel Abeshin
A contemporary British-Nigerian drama following two young people forced to re-examine their worldview in the wake of a sudden loss. Propelled by conflicting philosophies, the story tracks the friction between a charismatic young man wrestling to find a purpose bigger than himself, and his fiercely brilliant confidante who must confront her own convictions to help them both survive.
The Shubz
by Soukeyna Osei-Bonsu and Mary O'Connell
A coming-of-age comedy following 9-year-old Moroccan-Ghanaian Kenza and her 9-year-old Irish-Caribbean best friend Naomi in the year 2003 as they go through the dramas, peaks and troughs of their North London playground life in preparation for the biggest event of their lives: their school disco.
My Mother's Prayers
by Priscilla Abrafi Krahn
A fortified sibling bond, their mother’s prayers and education as a passport to the future. Prince and his older sister Divine navigate their respective final years at secondary school and college when an unexpected turn of events threatens their hopes of a better life.
