Migration and cross cultural encounters
American Drama Group Europe
A new play about migration and asylum adapted by Paul Stebbings and Phil Smith from the short stories of leading writers from immigrant communities across the Globe.
This exciting and dramatic production brings together some of the finest writing on this pressing subject from the perspective of those on the move. This is not a dull or predictable documentary but a vibrant and compelling drama that encompasses Africa, Britain, the USA and the Caribbean. There is romance and humour, dance and song as well as the captivating writing of some extraordinary literary voices. But if the form is popular and accessible the content is powerful and sober: allowing us in our comfortable theatre seats to not just understand but experience the fears and hopes of those who take the dangerous journey into what they hope is a bright future, only to be often met by hostility
and suspicion. These fine writers provide no easy answers but ask some of the most pressing questions of our time. Within the framework of a performance at Calais vast refugee camp the multiracial cast present dramatic versions of the following short stories: THE GREEN CARD by Sefi Atta, LOOSE CHANGE by Andrea Levy, EXTERIOR PAINT by Kit De Waal, THE THING AROUND YOUR NECK Bu Chimamanda Nigozi Adichie and THE SOLDIERS TALE by Neel Mukhrkee.
