Just a month after their launch at the Edinburgh Festival, brand new theatre company CultureClash will perform their five-star acclaimed show for five nights at Greenwich Theatre.
Hannah and Hanna – performed by Cassandra Hercules, from Cambridge, and Serin Ibrahim, who lives in Greenwich – will run from September 29 to October 3 and also mark the directorial debut of James Haddrell, the theatre’s Artistic and Executive Director.
“We performed the show 24 times in four weeks in Edinburgh and we were delighted to pick up a host of four and five-star reviews,” said James. “Audience feedback at the prestigious Assembly venue was fantastic so we decided to bring it back to Greenwich.”
Hannah and Hanna was written by John Retallack in 2001 and tells the story of two teenage girls – one from Margate and one from Kosovo – who are thrown together at a time of great unrest following the huge influx of Kosovan refugees in 1999.
The play is about the challenges that asylum seekers face, and the sometimes violent resistance that they find from various communities, but it’s told from the perspective of two teenage girls so has a very upbeat, emotional heart.
Hannah and Hanna, 29 September – 3 October at 8pm
Tickets £13.50, Concessions £11 (inc £1 booking fee)
