Coming of age can be tough enough but...
What if you’re a fugee? What if all the adults are dead? What if?

A double bill of teenage plays exploring dark days.

Immune by Oladipo Agboluaje

It’s an ordinary day in an ordinary school and they are ordinary kids. A bully, a crush, a fight behind the bike sheds, showcase rehearsals and double chemistry! Today the chemical reactions will change them forever. When the bell rings today there’s no going home. The adults are all dead, where does that leave the kids?

Fugee by Abi Morgan
Fugee: Slang for refugee

Kojo is 14 but can’t prove it. Ara's from Baghdad and still hears bombs.

Cheung does back flips and is from a 1,000 yr old Chinese village.

Orphans, abandoned in London, they are now each other’s street family.

Together, they tell Kojo's story of lost childhood, tall trees and a murder by a child that everyone says is a man.
