Word-Play by Rabiah Hussain
A play about what happens when a Prime Minister ad-libs on live TV, exploring how language seeps into public consciousness and reverberates with far-reaching consequences that will last for generations. Premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London.'A fascinating new play exploring the insidious potential of bland language.. skewers a particularly British kind of bigotry... there's so much about this play that'll stick in your throat: a reminder that words can wound, however bland they might sound'
* Time Out *'Playful, thoughtful, and deliciously up-to-the-minute... Often hilarious, sometimes moving, this play about how words matter has a cumulative power'
* Evening Standard *'Amusing and boldly, excitingly experimental... Hussain's script shines in sudden moments of lyrical outrage'
* Guardian *'Audacious, incisive and emotive'
* The Upcoming *'A turbo-charged lesson in minding your language... thought-provoking and explosive'
* Metro *Rabiah Hussain is a playwright and screenwriter. Word-Play was developed whilst she was on attachment as part of the Royal Court Theatre and Kudos Writing Fellowship in 2019.
