Infos

In the Downing Street Press Office an emergency meeting has been called. The Prime Minister has been ad-libbing on live TV (again) and his words are going viral. There is a flurry of accusations, and demands for an apology; but as his team debate what to do next, it's already too late. His words have found their way to dinner parties, bus journeys and newspaper columns across the nation - and not everyone is angry. Rabiah Hussain's play Word-Play explores how language seeps into public consciousness and reverberates with far-reaching consequences that will last for generations. It premiered at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs, London, in July 2023, directed by Nimmo Ismail.

Rabiah Hussain is a writer for film, TV and theatre. Her plays include: Word-Play (Royal Court Theatre, London, 2023); We Are Shadows (Tamasha Theatre, 2019); and Spun (Arcola Theatre, London, 2018 and Canadian tour; winner of the German Baden-Wuttemberg Youth Theatre Prize 2020).
