Ripples
Tickets From £18

Venue

Bush Theatre

“I have a story they don’t want me to tell.”

Finish school, move to the big city, change the world. Life is just getting going.

But then the letter arrives, and the van turns up. And everything stops. Ripped from his family, he’s about to be deported.

Lost in a world of surveillance and suspicion, one man fights to hold on to who he is and right this wrong.

Based on true events, from debut writer Tafadzwa Muchenje and Stand and Be Counted’s Artistic Director Rosie MacPherson, Ripples is an urgent and electrifying interrogation of Britain’s treatment of migrants and the relentless power of hope. Presented by the UK’s first Theatre Company of Sanctuary, Stand and Be Counted, in support of the Lift the Ban campaign.

There isn’t a strict dress code for London theatre, so wear whatever you’ll feel comfortable and confident in. Most people go for smart casual - think jeans or trousers with a nice top, a casual dress, or a shirt and trainers. If you’re heading to an evening show, on a date, or celebrating something, you might fancy dressing up a bit more, but it’s completely optional.
Arriving at least 30 minutes before the scheduled start time helps keep things smooth and stress-free, giving you plenty of time to collect tickets, go through security, and get settled in your seat before the performance begins.
