In this darkly comic play two Romanian immigrants, driven by a desire for belonging, kidnap an Englishman to learn how to be English. Inspired by Carla’s own cultural exchange trip to Romania, _OCCUPIED_ has received support from Romanian Cultural Centre in the UK and will run from TUESDAY 1 APRIL.
Exploring identity in crises, both English and Romanian, _OCCUPIED_ is a contemporary look at immigrants in London and takes an irreverent approach to prevailing cultural stereotypes.
_“We are making little territories in your country, a hostile take over of your garden sheds, your abandoned houses and your toilets! The occupation has begun!”_
First performed at Theatre503’s Labfest in 2012 to critical acclaim, _OCCUPIED _is directed by ANNA MORS (Kevin Spacey Grant for Emerging Artist 2013) and designed by PETRA HJORTSBERG.
