A Young Vic co-production with Palestinian theatre company ShiberHur, I Am Yusuf And This Is My Brother arrives at the Young Vic direct from a tour of villages and refugee camps in Israel and the West Bank.
January 1948. The British Mandate is ending. The UN votes on who will control what part of Palestine. Ali has a burning passion for Nada but he is in despair. Her father won't let them marry because his brother Yusuf is ‘odd' with his own eccentric, child-like point of view. Rufus, a soldier on the occupying British forces, longs for the cold fogs of Sheffield. War begins. The villagers mourn the loss of the land they've worked for generations as unimaginable change takes place around them. A poetic exploration of loyalty and love from the frontline.
