a new play by David Edgar >>>Latest reviews
“You can tell a German because he knows his Bach & Beethoven. You can tell a Canadian because he separates his rubbish. And you can tell a Brit because he knows how to sue his neighbours…”
Where did Father Christmas originate? How do you feel about men holding hands? What should you do if you spill someone’s drink?
Written with charm, wit and passion, David Edgar’s new play is a fascinating tapestry about the twisting road to becoming British. Secretly, Tetyana wants to escape her marriage. Mahmood gets kidnapped for his own good. And the motley crew in Emma’s English class are all looking for something, whether it’s a passport - or a fight. As the day of their ceremony approaches, Emma’s students begin to challenge some of her dearest-held beliefs.
David Edgar’s plays include Pentecost, Playing with Fire, Destiny, and his famous adaptation for the RSC of Nicholas Nickleby, now revived in the West End. Directed by Matthew Dunster; Designed by Paul Wills; Lighting designed by Philip Gladwell; Sound designed by Ian Dickinson
