Content warning [May contain spoilers]
Four lost souls are stuck in the never-ending loop that is life. But what is life in Britain for them? These are children of empire, adolescents of the diaspora, and how have they forged their way in polite British society?
From the pub table, to the paediatrics review meeting, to the dreaded therapist's chair, to the Scottish cottage; we follow Ismail, Layla, Safwan, and Yasser as each grapples with their place in the world and what they've lost in the process of securing that place.
Four people, four different stages in life, four responses to existence in the limbo that is being an immigrant in Britain. Crossing Points is the winner of the CUADC Writing Competition 2025-26
This production is suitable for ages 16 and over.
