Sometimes you surprise people into being better than they are
Laura and Anna, half-sisters, plan a grand net stretching across the skyline of North London as a way to unite their community
But not everyone’s convinced
Meanwhile Hala, a Syrian refugee staying with the family, finds herself caught in a tangle of immigration red tape
With time running out, drought spreading, and the authorities closing in, the net becomes their arena in the pursuit of justice, joy and safety
Misha Levkov’s stunning debut interweaves the lives of the three women as delicately as the web they weave on stage
Family, protest, and the joy of defiance meet in this thrilling piece
