Had some time to kill last week and luckily killed it with this.
A dispassionate yet understanding look at how the vagaries of the immigration system can lead to difficult moral choices being forced on people whose only interest is to work hard for their living, and on the criminal activities related to illegal immigration. Arzhang Pezhman has written a watchable yet powerful play which deserves a bigger audience than the Park90 (grateful to their promotion and production of works such as this though). It's funny, poignant and tragic in equal measures and the acting was superb throughout, made somehow even more credible by the proximity of the performers. Portraying, not preaching, this was really good, theatre at its best.
