The Initiate

Roundabout At Southbank Centre, London, SE1 8XX
  • An award-winning tale of altruism, greed and the search for belonging.
    A British couple are seized by Somali pirates. In East London, a Somali taxi-driver decides to rescue them. Meeting disbelief with determination, he dismisses his wife's fears and flies out to negotiate their release.
    Speeding from the banks of the Thames to the now unfamiliar world of his homeland, he confronts the family he left behind and the bravado of the defiant men he once called brothers.
    Experience the raw emotion of Alexandra Wood's new play by theatre company Paines Plough in this summer's unmissable pop-up theatre experience Roundabout – an intimate in-the-round venue at Southbank Centre until 18 July.
    'A wonderfully slippery and always intelligent play. Beautifully performed.' (The Guardian)
    Winner of The Scotsman Fringe First Award 2014
