Against a backdrop of conscription and homophobia, Khalid and Zayd take on a perilous and devastating journey to seek safety across the sea.

Based on real events, this intimate debut play explores two of life's hardest journeys - to self-acceptance, and to find a safe place to call home. Twenty-four year old playwright Amir Amaar draws on his life as a young gay man in Syria, and the experiences that shaped him as he travelled as a refugee to the UK.

This timely piece disrupts the dehumanisation of anti-refugee narratives, starkly contrasting right-wing media rhetoric with the distressing realities of crossing the border by boat.

Through a combination of flashbacks and real-time storytelling, Amaar shares a deeply personal story of love and leaving that will resonate across borders, and stay with you long after the curtain falls.
