"The return of her one woman show
written and performed by Yasmin Alibhai-Brown"
Tara presents…
Nowhere to Belong: Tales of an
Extravagant Stranger
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown’s poignant and
impassioned one-woman show about a Ugandan
in Britain.
Journalist and political commentator Yasmin
Alibhai-Brown explores her life-long love
of Shakespeare. Her experience of playing
Juliet as a teenager in ‘60’s
Uganda sent shockwaves through her family
and helped shape the emotional and political
landscape of her life.
Provocative and powerful Yasmin Alibhai-Brown
is a searing cultural presence and Nowhere
to Belong captures with warmth and grit
how theatre and Shakespeare helped change
her life.
Yasmin is well known for her regular radio
and television broadcasts and columns in
the Evening Standard and The Independent.
Her books include No Place Like Home, Some
of My Best Friends (a collection of journalistic
writing) and Settler’s Cookbook: Tales
of Love, Migration and Food available in
2008. Memorably, in 2003, Yasmin returned
her MBE in protest against the war in Iraq.
“Enlightening, funny and moving…beautifully
performed” -
Colin Firth
“”This show is a gem –
any person of spirit would find themselves
falling in love with Alibhai-Brown.”
- The Independent
Developed with the RSC, directed by Gavin
Marshall.
Update:
A new CD of the Nowhere to Belong show will
