Nine Lives

22 Oct – 31 Oct 2020

Overview of the production

Presented by Leeds Studio

Fleeing from his home where a fresh wave of homophobia threatens his life, Ishmael has sought sanctuary in the UK.  Dispersed to Leeds, Ishmael waits to hear his fate, he waits for a new life to begin amongst strangers.  But not everyone is bad… can he find a place to call home again?  Some of us wanted to stop being afraid. Some of us wanted to find ourselves. Some of us wanted to belong. 

Zodwa Nyoni threads together humour and humanity to tell the real personal story behind asylum headlines.

An old white plastic suitcase sits on the stage, on top of it is a photo frame with what looks like a family photo in it. To the right of this crouching against the brick wall at the back of the stage is Llaldel Bryant. He's wearing blue jeans, a blue t-shirt and sports trainers. He looks visibly upset with his face scrunched up.
Lladel Bryant is sat on an old white plastic suitcase on the stage. His head is hanging down with his hands on his legs. Between his feet are a pair of sparkly high heels and tossed to the side are a pair of sports trainers.
