T01896302468
On 23 June 2014, fifteen year old Helawit went to her friend's birthday party in north London. They watched a film, ate pizza and made terrible rap videos on their phones. On the same day, on the other side of the world, Helawit's dad - a British democracy activist - was kidnapped, hooded and illegally rendered to Ethiopia. A year later, he's still there - held in solitary confinement and facing a death sentence for crimes he didn't commit.

Ask is an intimate new scratch play created and performed by Helawit, a long-standing member of Islington Community Theatre, and her friends. It's about what it means for your dad to go missing in one of the most important years of your life and why the British Government won't ask for him back.
