Refugee! is a new political, devised theatre piece written by Aisha Zia. Weaving together urgent, important interviews, conversations and real-life testimonies from the performers, migrant, refugee and sanctuary seeking communities.

Set on an ancient burial ground, where the UK is now a crime scene, four characters in search of belonging. Under the rubble they find evidence of hope and humanity, and our own government’s complicity to war crimes.
