| Synopsis: | Three years ago, a Kurdish refugee, Firsat Yildiz, was murdered on Glasgow's Easterhouse estate. And, although the action has been transposed to London, this event clearly lurks behind Rhiannon Tise's short, sharp play, which uses sawn-off, Edward Bond-style dialogue to convey the irrational hostility inspired by the very notion of asylum seekers.
