Occupied

by Carla Grauls

Overview

We are making little territories in your country, a hostile take-over of your garden sheds, your abandoned houses and your toilets. The occupation has begun!

Driven by a desire for belonging, two Romanian immigrants kidnap an Englishman to learn how to be English. Set in a derelict Victorian public toilet, Occupied is a darkly comic play about identity in crisis.

The play was first performed at Labfest 2012 and received a full production at Theatre503, London, on 1 April 2014, directed by Anna Mors (winner of the Kevin Spacey Award for Emerging Artists).
