Us, (Post 23/3)
by Kamal Kaan
Based on true events. Live-streamed via Zoom & YouTube during the pandemic. Us, Post 23/3 is a play which tells the story of a family who are caught in a dilemma between working on the frontline and putting their loved ones at risk. The pandemic, an acute infection, and a medically induced coma forces them to re-evaluate the motivations of serving a country who views them as outsiders. The family has to deal with the mental and emotional strain this causes on their personal relationships.

Witness the rise and fall of a new(t) capitalism. Deep in the bowels of an oyster-dredging vessel, an ocean of opportunity arises as a new resource makes contact. ​ War with the Newts was an updated theatrical re-imagining of Karel Čapek’s satirical, political, apocalyptic, sci-fi classic of the same title, transported to a post-Brexit Britain of the possible future. The show featured a fully immersive set by theatre and production designer, Hannah Sibai, a terrifying live mixed score with 8 channel surround sound by composer, performer, sound designer, Dr. Robert Bentall and received Summerhall's Lustrum Award for Outstanding Theatre. ​​ War with the Newts previewed at Square Chapel, Halifax and Waterside Arts, Sale and premiered at Summerhall for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2018 before a UK tour including Leeds, Manchester and London.
