Phosphoros Theatre

After the sell out success and Amnesty Freedom of Expression Award nomination for Dear Home Office, Phosphoros Theatre’s new play is performed by the same 10 young refugee men, telling versions of their own stories. Kareem’s settled in London, but the sudden arrival of his destitute brother forces him to re-navigate the system.

Now 18 and independent, but with no refugee status, Elgi tries to stay optimistic despite his college prospects stalling. Failed asylum seeker Akram embarks on a stressful appeal until a chance connection might just be the thing which saves him. Stardom beckons for Filmon who is courted by TV producers – but is his face refugee enough?

The show features the company’s signature style of comedy, raw talent and celebration as it explores coming-0f-age in unique and extreme circumstances.
