Repatriated at Canada Water Theatre

Please note this performance is taking place at Canada Water Theatre, not Theatre Peckham. 

Repatriated explores what happens when the state decides someone no longer belongs. Set across pubs, cafés, squats, protests and detention infrastructure; the play follows Simon as he is pulled into the machinery of state surveillance surrounding deportations of people made effectively stateless. 

The play examines how modern power operates: through data, legality and participation, asking whether it is still possible to gather publicly, protest openly, or live anonymously. National symbols, public ritual and “Britishness” hover throughout, offering both comfort and threat. Repatriated is a story about complicity without malice, resistance without certainty and the quiet, cumulative violence of bureaucracy. 

Repatriated is showing at Peckham Fringe as part of Theatre Peckham’s 40th anniversary celebrations.
