Insane Asylum Seekers Tickets

“At 27, my dad had escaped multiple bloodthirsty dictatorships. I’m 27, I had a panic attack watching the final episode of Succession.”

Laith is in serious trouble- but he can’t tell you why. He’s spent years keeping a secret, perfecting the art of hiding it.

But now, it’s catching up with him.

And as if that weren’t enough, Laith’s mum won’t stop throwing things at seagulls, and his dad keeps wandering off during life-threatening situations.

Laith’s parents escaped Iraq 30 years ago, which he reckons is the reason he’s in this whole mess to begin with.

Side-splittingly funny and deeply moving, Insane Asylum Seekers explores the complexities of the British-Iraqi refugee experience. Written by Laith Elzubaidi and directed by Olivier Award-nominee Emily Ling Williams (A Playlist for the Revolution), this is the world premiere production of the 2023 Tony Craze Award-winner.
