About
★★★★
“ASTONISHING... YOU WON'T BE FORGETTING THIS PLAY ANYTIME SOON.”
Time Out
RULE OF THUMB: ACT. REACT. REFLECT.
Here, in a London training centre, people prepare to help strangers on another side of the world. There, a city is burning.
Here, Sarah gets a meal deal. There, people are in danger. Here, Khaled watches a training video. There, there are men with guns. Here, Sarah and Khaled flirt with each other. There, an aid worker looks after a refugee.
Suddenly — here becomes there.
Roleplay, desire and compassion will intertwine, revealing the limits of help, the beginnings of harm and the complexities of humanitarian work.
From Olivier-nominated writer Sami Ibrahim (two Palestinians go dogging; A Sudden Burst of Violent Rain) and Olivier-nominated director Jaz Woodcock-Stewart (Paradise Now!; Jason Medea Medley; Civilisation).

"Directed by the reliably excellent Jaz Woodcock-Stewart and frankly all new work at Hackney Wick’s Yard Theatre is worth a look."
