Note: There is a post-show discussion, Border Language: New Writing About Refugees to Britain, on Fri 18 Apr.
The Oval House's double bill, directed by Helena Bell, comprises two plays that explore the new beginnings of immigrants. Oladipo Agboluaje's For One Night Only follows the comic ups and downs of Bode and Eddie, two friends with dreams of stardom who, having journeyed to Heathrow using the same crooked passport service, now share the same identity. In contrast, Rukhsana Ahmad's Letting Go addresses the painful sacrifices made in the search for a new life, as her character Abbas grieves for his lost brother while watching the twinkling lights at Dover dock.
