How Not To Drown was first performed on 4 August 2019 at the
Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh. "I don't know why my Dad let me go...
I was too young, too weak, to make this journey. I wouldn't have
sent me... He wouldn't have sent me unless there was a reason." In
2002, in the turmoil after the end of the Kosovan War, Dritan is
sent on the notoriously perilous journey across the Adriatic with a
gang of people smugglers to a new life in Europe. He relies on his
young wit and charm to make it to the UK. But the fight for
survival continues as he clings to his identity and sense of self
when he ends up in the British care system. Painful yet uplifting,
How Not to Drown shares a story of endurance for a little kid who
wasn't safe or welcome anywhere in the world. Award-winning theatre
company ThickSkin (Chalk Farm, The Static) returns to the stage
with an action packed, highly visual production.
