Enclosed in a freight container somewhere in Europe, five people huddle together with a common aim. Reach England. Start a new life. Can they rely on each other? And how far will each of them go to get what they want?

Winner of the 2007 Amnesty Freedom of Expression Award, Clare Bayley's play was the hit of the Edinburgh Fringe in 2007. Transferred to a sea container parked outside the Young Vic, each performance seats just 28 people.
