This comical and moving tale of unexpected friendship confronts the issue of security and identity through a fusion of performance poetry, theatre, movement and song. Set within the beating heart of London, the chaotic stories of five characters in crisis are exposed through the eye of a camera. What happens when one generation collides with another and cultural expectations clash? Does the flash of a blade in broad daylight mean the end or the beginning of Security? Find out when age and youth battle as Palestine meets Peckham. Zena Edwards takes storytelling into the 21st century.

“Edwards is a superb performer, equally at ease as an elderly Caribbean man, as a would-be teenage MC, Ayleen, or as a lonely, 47-year-old Palestinian photographer, Mahmoud.”
Lyn Gardner - The Guardian

WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY ZENA EDWARDS
DIRECTED BY ANTHONY SHRUBSALL
