They left everything behind to be told they don’t belong.

Maurice and Hermia, a migrant married couple, make their home in the UK. Maurice is very proud of working as a care worker in an elderly care-home. Hermia struggles with motherhood and caring for their two-year-old alone, but has found a friend in Darya, a migrant woman in her late 70s, who is a resident of the care home. During a period of global crisis, Maurice is forced to choose between his family and having to live in the care home where he works. Four years later, with further restrictions looming for migrant care workers, Maurice and Hermia take stock of their life choices.

A passionate play about a family and their choices during a global crisis, inspired by real life testimonies of the human stories behind migration.
