Crocodile Seeking Refuge

This play tells the stories of five individuals seeking asylum in the UK: Zakariya from Darfur; Destin from the Republic of Congo; Jalal from Iraq; Parvaneh from Iran and Marie-Elena from Colombia. Each has been forced to flee their homeland in the face of death, each is haunted in a different way by the past. Finding themselves in situations that veer between the comic and the tragic, they try to make sense of the British way of life.&quote;Scars are like medals. They show we have taken part in the life.&quote;Inspired by the real life testimony of people who have sought refuge in the UK, 'Crocodile Seeking Refuge' is an incisive look at the asylum stories behind the headlines.
