NOWHERE TO BELONG

Yasmin Alibhai-Brown
Directed by Gavin Marshall

Respected (and often controversial) political commentator Yasmin Alibhai-Brown explores a life-long love of Shakespeare and details how her own personal experience of playing Juliet as a teenager in 60's Uganda sent shockwaves through her family and helped to shape the emotional and political landscape of her life.

'This polemical piece is one from the heart.' The Times

Provocative and powerful Yasmin Alibhai-Brown is a searing cultural presence and Nowhere to Belong captures with warmth and grit how theatre and Shakespeare helped change her life.  

Yasmin is well-known for her regular radio and television broadcasts and columns in the Evening Standard and The Independent. Her outstanding books include No Place Like Home and Some of My Best Friends (a collection of her journalistic writing). Memorably in 2003 Yasmin returned her MBE in protest against the war in Iraq.

'This show is a gem - very funny and touching - any person of spirit would find themselves falling in love with Alibhai-Brown.' The Independent

“Enlightening, funny and moving…beautifully performed.”
Colin Firth
