Backgammon for Beginners
November 1976. A military jet arrives in London and a bemused looking Iranian man in flares steps on to the tarmac. He holds a single suitcase and takes in the sight of this new land. Unknown to airport officials, he has smuggled in the last of his opium supply, and brings with him a complicated past from a culture which doesn't slot neatly into this one. Fusing drama, edge of seat acrobatics and live music, Jacksons Lane Associate Artists So & So Circus (The Hot Dots) tell the true story of this extraordinary man and his life lived without a safety net.
