Returning after a hugely well-reviewed season in 2017 is Asylum by Ruth Fingret
Inspired by the tragedy of statelessness, this play explores the choices people make to save their family when under pressure
“This is a magnificent new Australian work, easily one of the best plays I have seen that attempts to tackle this subject. The issue of our partiality and our inability to see the Other is brought to the fore poignantly in this is elegantly woven seventy minutes.”

Set against the back drop of large scale migration, this Asylum examines the personal story of Hajir, a young Lebanese man seeking asylum in Australia, and Craig, the immigration officer who will decide his fate.
And make no mistake … ASYLUM is politics. Big picture politics painted with intimacy.
