The Everything Theatre Interviews

Episode 67: Refugees, Immigrants and Understanding


Listen Later

Our latest guest on our Runn Radio show was Mahad Ali, who joined us to talk about his play My Brother's Keeper. Based in a seaside town, two brothers find themselves living in a hotel whilst awaiting a decision on their refugee status. But it is not just a story about refugees, it is a story of love, pain and learning in building community. It's certainly a timely play in today's climate, even if Ali begun writing in back in 2016.

We discuss the play and its themes, the issues facing both refugees and the towns that often find themselves hosting large numbers of refugees. We also chat about Theatre503, and why we need more risk taking within theatre if we want to see it thrieve.

My Brother's Keeper plays 14 February - 4 March at Theatre503. Further information can be found here.
