On Arriving
DIRECTED BY CAT ROBEY.
22 July 2021
Overview
“He can see the horizon, beyond today.”
Summer sun, clear sky. Mother sends you to the market in your plastic slippers on a mission for cucumbers, and you return with a fiancé. Before you blink: a new home, a new baby, a new life planned. Neighbours mention troubling protests, but those are a far-off news story – until the moment it explodes onto your doorstep. When your world falls apart, it’s left to you to make a decision. It’s time to leave.
Ivan Faute’s plays have been produced in London, Houston and Chicago. Sophia Eleni, who starred in 15 Heroines, draws on her family’s refugee experience in this award-winning performance. Cat Robey is outgoing Carne Deputy Director of Jermyn Street Theatre. In partnership with charity Refugee Action.
