By turns amusing and moving, Borders is an urgent, satirical attack on both celebrity culture, and the West's inertia towards the Syrian crisis.

The story is told by two artists. One: a Western news photographer - who after taking a rare picture of Bin Laden - is propelled to superstardom. The other: an anonymous Syrian graffiti artist who's forced to flee her country after seeking regime change. The duo's monologues intercut, until the pair meet in a heart-wrenching climax.

Praised for its astounding performances, evocative dialogue, immaculate research and vivid story-telling, Borders was one of the biggest hits at Edinburgh '17 - selling out its entire run, receiving an astonishing 19 five-and four-star reviews, and winning both the leading theatre awards (The Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh and the Fringe First). Written by the multi-award winning British playwright Henry Naylor, and boldly directly by Michael Cabot with Louise Skaaning, this is fast-paced, stripped-back theatre: conveying a huge and epic story, with only two actors, simple lighting and a couple of stools. It features two stellar performances. Graham O'Mara is both hilarious and moving as Sebastian; and Avital Lvova's extraordinary Nameless is informed by her own experiences as a displaced person.

An urgent commentary on one of the great crises of our time, Borders was inspired by many interviews with refugees.
