The Play About Calais, is based on the playwright's visit to the ‘Jungle’ refugee camp in Calais and the people he met along the way; an attempt to make sense of one of the most complex and divisive issues of our times.
This play is taken from Steve Waters: Shorts, five short plays from acclaimed playwright Steve Waters, all of them deeply personal accounts of his attempts to make sense of twenty-first-century Britain and an ever-changing world.
