Dystopian Britain. Any citizen with ‘non-indigenous’ grandparents is ordered to go through a state-assessed evaluation of Britishness. Sara, Sarah and Scheherazade await their fate in an immigration centre. Three women. Three different stories. One interviewer. What’s it going to be?
Examining themes of identity, perception and feminism, Octopus is a comedy which challenges and celebrates in equal measure, all whilst set to a pulsating soundtrack of 90s pop and riot grrl punk.
This play is showing as a double bill with Shook. Find out more about the BOVTS Summer Festival at the Wardrobe Theatre here.
