Photo Flash: National Youth Theatre Performs THE HOST at St James's Church Piccadilly
Nessah Muthy's The Host, directed by Zoe Lafferty is currently playing at St James's Church Piccadilly in conjunction with a major art installation reflecting experiences of refugees. Originally commissioned by the National Youth Theatre in response to Brexit and the European refugee crisis, The Host tells the story of a Syrian refugee and the impact of his arrival on a local family, exploring race, relations and family ties. The production will be running alongside Suspended, a major installation by artist Arabella Dorman, featuring salvaged refugee clothing suspended above the nave of the church, reflecting the rootless and volatile experience of life as a refugee. A 360 video featuring real accounts of refugees living in the UK will accompany the production, exploring the responses and opinions of refugees based on their real life experiences.
