Barons Court Theatre Presents Calais


'The most important play to be staged at the theatre in 2016'

Running at Barons Court Theatre till May 8 is Calais,a drama described by the theatre as the most important play to be staged there in 2016.

Written by Dermot Dolan, the play is bound to attract a great deal of attention. Against the backdrop of Calais and the constant threat of the police, it aims to raise awareness of the plight of migrants in Calais, exploring what drives people to make perilous journeys and how much they would risk to reach their goals.

Calais, directed by Grace Smith tells the story of four young Eritrean refugees find themselves in Calais having travelled through the desert and across borders. They have endured one traumatic experience after another, detention centres, beatings, freezing temperatures and even avoided drowning.

Now, in Calais, they hope to make it across the English Channel to a new life where their dreams await them. Tariq and Ahmed are Muslim and dream of walking on rich English soil. Birham, a Christian, dreams of setting up his own Ministry and Faven, a young Muslim woman, wants to open her own café.

Calais is on Tuesdays till Sundays till May 8 from April 26 at 7.30pm.
