A City Of Foxes by Becci Fearnley

Durga is British. She loves football, listens to The Beatles and eats fish and chips. Martha, the old lady next door, is determined that Durga isn’t wanted here and, for the first time, Durga begins to question whether the ground under her feet is really ‘home’. A mixed race teenager and a lonely old woman must learn to co-exist…and it’s not going to be pretty.

A City Of Foxes aims to open a discourse and spark debate about what we really mean by the term ‘Britishness’, whether this definition of identity is even important any more, and, if it is, how we can create a new, compassionate and inclusive definition of Britishness that brings people together.

The show will be followed by an hour long poetry and creative writing workshop open to the public. This will be centred around the theme of identity. Tickets automatically allow entry to the workshop.

A City Of Foxes is directed by Felicity Wilson and funded by grants for the arts (Arts Council England)
