Paperback / softback

Description

I haven't hurt anyone, killed, raped, murdered - I just ran away - came here to be safe.

But I'm locked up. I just - I can't believe this is England. They have run away from unimaginable horrors looking only for safety.

But, imprisoned together at Yarl's Wood Dentention Centre, these women are stuck in a limbo that offers them exactly the opposite.

Based on verbatim interviews from current and former detainees, The Scar Test takes you inside one of England's migrant detention centres, exposing the conditions the inmates must endure whilst awaiting a decision on their fate.

Told with compassion, Hannah Khalil's play throws a spotlight on the harrowing ordeals of the female migrants seeking refuge in Britain and the obstacles they face in the process. Published to coincide with its 2017 London and regional tour, The Scar Test originally debuted in 2015 with Untold Arts company.
