Tender

This new play from Phosphoros Theatre encapsulates the radical joy that sees the company resist dominant and reductive media headlines.

Drawing on the personal narratives of its company of refugee actors, Tender moves between the UK and home countries to explore the true cost of the migration journey for those young people who come seeking asylum.

With no safety net, no right to work and debts to pay, how do they focus on building a future? When it’s a choice between going to college or earning money, what gives? How much human potential is compromised by Britain’s ever-tightening hostile environment?

Vibrant, revealing, curious and bold, ‘Tender’ shines a light on one of the most pressing issues of our time.
