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.

The production stars NYT members Rebekah Murrell, Zakaria Douglas-Zerouali, Taylor Keegan, Amy Parker and Phao May. It runs until Saturday 3 February.
