About

A passionate play about a family and their choices during a global crisis inspired by real-life testimonies, voicing the human stories behind migration when the world is against them.

Maurice and Hermia, a migrant married couple, make their home in the UK.

Maurice is very proud of working as a care worker in an elderly care-home. Hermia, instead, struggles with motherhood and caring for their two-year-old alone but has found a friend in Darya, a woman in her late 70s, a resident of the care home and also a migrant.

When during a period of global crisis Maurice is forced to choose between his family and having to live in the care home where he works, he tries to keep his marriage and the relationship with his two-year-old son afloat.

Four years later, with further restrictions looming for migrant care workers, Maurice and Hermia take stock of their life choices.
