The Bogus Woman

T1869328624
From a war-torn African state to conflict in a British Detention Centre, The Bogus Woman follows the journey of a young African poet and journalist, seeking asylum. Researched with asylum seekers at Campsfield and Tinsley House Detention Centres, this urgent and explosive production is a gut-wrenching testimony to the abuse of human rights in Britain. The winner of a Fringe First Award in Edinburgh 2000.

Reviews

User Review: 24Feb01: Caught this show in Edinburgh where it won a Fring first. The acting is extraordinary. Dozens of characters come to life, the writing moving, the politics incendiary. See it and never be disparaging about asylum seekers ever.
