This powerful play explores the complex emotional realities of two immigrants with very different histories and aspirations who are forced together in a shared state of exile. Translated and adapted by Omran, The Emigrants was originally written in 1974 by Polish playwright Slawomir Mrozek. The work explores the bitter state of immigrants during the cold war in a contemporary understanding of the complexities of immigration.
