'We all live under the same sky. It's just that, beneath that sky,
there's some arsehole saying, "Don't stand here, stand over there
and shut your mouth."' Elif shears sheep for a rich landowner.
Every other waking hour she spends queuing outside the palace,
hoping that the King will let her live within the city walls. She
comes from a faraway land. She is searching for sanctuary. And this
is what we call a 'hostile environment'. Sami Ibrahim's play A
Sudden Violent Burst of Rain is a poetic fable about an
impenetrable immigration system that mirrors our own. It premiered
in Paines Plough's Roundabout in 2022, including a run at the
Edinburgh Festival Fringe, as a co-production between Paines Plough
and Rose Theatre, Kingston, in association with the Gate Theatre,
London.
