Who are we? British? I don’t feel British.

Home is so far away now, I don’t feel like I belong there either.

My family say I speak with an English accent.

I am a traveller. A migrant. A citizen of the world.

And a refugee.

“Life in the UK (T&Cs apply)” is the new community theatre show by Phosphoros Theatre. It’s full of the conversations we struggle to have- about identity, belonging and home. Funny, bold and grounded in refugee lived experience, this show is an invitation to get talking about one of the most pressing issues of our time.

All shows are free to attend. Age guidance 12+.

Other showings include:

Sunday 15 June, 2pm and 4pm: Theatre Deli, 107 Leadenhall St, EC3A 4AF
