'Fucking Frogs! My grandfather didn't die in the English Civil War
so's half the population of France could come over here and live
off the soup!' A riotous journey through four waves of immigration
from the 17th century to today. As the French Huguenots, the Irish,
the Jews and the Bangladeshis in turn enter the chaotic world of
Bethnal Green, each new influx provokes a surge of violent protest
over housing, jobs, religion and culture. And the emerging pattern
shows that white flight and anxiety over integration is anything
but new. Written with scurrilous bravura, Richard Bean's great
sweep of a comedy follows a pair of star-crossed lovers amid
cutters'mobs, Papists, Jewish anarchists and radical Islamists
across four tempestuous centuries. England People Very Nice enjoyed
a sell-out run at the National Theatre.
