Borders (NHB Modern Plays)

Two artists from opposite worlds meet in an unlikely place - the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. It's 2017, and an ageing fishing boat is sinking fast, its occupants quickly abandoning ship. However, one young woman is panicking - she's six months pregnant, and can't swim. Sebastian, an English photojournalist-turned-paparazzo, is sent to cover the Syrian refugee crisis for a well-known magazine. At the same time, an unnamed Syrian street artist is forced to flee the Assad regime after a dramatic change in her life. Two worlds collide in the most heartbreaking and visceral of ways in Henry Naylor's play Borders. Borders was premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2017.
