Notes: Bush, London 2001
Synopsis: 48 different characters appear in this explosive show about a young African woman seeking asylum in England. Following the mass murder of her family, a distressed and beaten African woman is interrogated at London's Heathrow Airport. Unable to explain how she arrived there, she is locked up in the UK's national refugee detention center, Campsfield House near Oxford. There she becomes involved in the protests that led to the trial of the Campsfield Nine, a group of refugees who were accused and acquitted of rioting at the center. "For the short piece that I wrote for the Red Room, I read hundreds of stories of refugees seeking asylum in this country; the Refugee Council provided me with some of the source material. All of these were sad, but some were sickening, so horrifying as to be almost unbearable. Inspired by these terrible stories, I created my story of The Bogus Woman." Kay Adshead, 2000.

Synopsis: White people in their big shiny cars drive many kilometres with their sickness which I heal; sickness of the mind, body and of the soul. I charge a bit more for the soul' At night, a young black boy is 'questioned' by a white South African policeman. . . 36 years later, when the truth is dug up, a tortured Jennifer watches over her dying husband. But does her maid Beauty have the power to 'save' him, and is the price of remembering a dreadful secret one that Jennifer is prepared to pay? Bones is a ruthless excavation of South Africa in 2005, and in an age of threats, retribution and bloody revenge, it is an anthem for hope.
