“NO ONE TRULY KNOWS A NATION UNTIL ONE HAS BEEN INSIDE ITS JAILS”

Set in five prisons across five decades, Lines explores the threads that tie a group of seemingly disconnected individuals. Looking at postcolonial lives in Uganda, Palestine and the UK, this brand new drama has been selected as one of the Guardian’s “Best Theatre Tickets to Book” for 2024.

Following a successful R&D in Sheffield, Jan 2023, this next phase will see the finalisation of the script and the development of the show into full production at La MaMa, New York followed by a UK tour.

Performed John Rwothomack (Never Look Back, Far Gone) and Fidaa Zidan (The Walk with Amal), this new play has been created by Junaid Sarieddeen, John Rwothomack, Fidaa Zidan and Alexandra Aron with additional writing by Asiimwe Deborah Kawe.
