My Brother's Country

The Middle East is in turmoil; civil war and revolution spills out onto the streets. A radical and visionary form of Islam makes its entrance onto the world's stage.

Fereydoun Farrokhzad; singer, poet and TV icon, seeks refuge in Germany. Ten years later he is found dead in his apartment, a murder the police never solved.

Told in a cinematic style, with poetic text and a newly commissioned musical score by an electronic composer, this play is about Islam, sexuality and how our world came to be the way it is today.

My Brother's Country is written by Javaad Alipoor and directed by Natalie Diddams.

Co-produced by ARC, The Lowry, Salford and Theatre in The Mill, Bradford, as part of the Routes North initiative.
