Octopus by Afsaneh Gray at The Wardrobe Theatre
About
Examining themes of identity, perception and feminism, Octopus is a comedy which challenges and celebrates in equal measure, all whilst set to a pulsating soundtrack of 90s pop and riot girl punk.
"British values… It's money, isn't it? That's what 'value' means – how much you earn. That's what people care about."
Dystopian Britain. Any citizen with 'non-indigenous' grandparents is ordered to go through a stated-assessed evaluation of Britishness. Sara, Sarah and Scheherazade await their fate in an immigration centre. Three women. Three different stories. One interviewer. What's it going to be?
Director Lydia Johnson. Designer Sarah Tring.
