About this book
Sometimes your worst self is your best self. It's about shedding your skin – of slipping out of it, reborn – and free, finally.
The site-specific response to the phenomenon of young people leaving Britain to join Islamic State is about to start. But Aisha, Laila and Farouk have had enough.
Homegrown is an immersive show exploring the implications of radicalisation and extremism on the people and communities behind the headlines.
Omar El-Khairy 's other plays include Burst, Sour Lips, The Keepers of Infinite Space and The Chaplain: or, a short tale of how we learned to love good Muslims whilst torturing bad ones. He is a former Leverhulme Associate Playwright at the Bush Theatre.
Nadia Latif has directedwork for theatres including the RSC, Almeida, Arcola, Tricycle, Theatre503 and Soho Theatre. Sheworks exclusively in new writing.
'Homegrown is electric. Raw, honest, and compelling, no other play has so richly explored current discussions of radicalisation, Islamophobia, and youth disaffection'
Arun Kundnani, author of The Muslims are Coming!
'To read Homegrown, and to imagine its live performance, is to become open to points of view completely hidden and unheard in today's clamorous world'
Vron Ware, author of Who Cares About Britishness?
