Summary |
"Henry Naylor's play Borders is a two-hander about idealism, personal and professional ethics, how the West interacts with the East, the conflict in Syria, and the migrant crisis. It was first produced as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe at the Gilded Balloon Theatre, Edinburgh, as a Redbeard Theatre/Gilded Balloon production on 2 August 2017. The play interweaves the converging stories (told mostly in monologue) of two characters: Sebastian Nightingale, a celebrated war photographer, whose audience with Osama bin Laden prior to 9/11 shaped his career; and a nameless young Syrian graffiti artist whose urge to rebel lands her in serious trouble as the Assad regime embarks on a civil war, and, six months pregnant, she finds herself on an ageing fishing boat in the Mediterranean, sinking fast under the weight of refugees."-- Provided by publisher. |
