by Sami Ibrahim Rule of thumb: Act. React. Reflect. Here, in a London training centre, people prepare to help strangers on another side of the world. There, a city is burning. Here , Sarah gets a meal deal. There, people are in danger. Here, Khaled watches a training video. There, there are men with guns. Here, Sarah and Khaled flirt with each other. There, an aid worker looks after a refugee. Suddenly ― here becomes there. Roleplay, desire and compassion will intertwine, revealing the limits of help, the beginnings of harm and the complexities of humanitarian work. Sami Ibrahim's new play Multiple Casualty Incident is premiered at The Yard Theatre, London, in 2024. Show more
