Footprints in the Sand archiveFootprints in the Sand - two new plays by nationally acclaimed British Writers explore the dreams and aspirations, loves and losses of African refugees to Britain. For One Night Only by Oladipo Agboluaje is a warm hearted comedy about economic migrant Bode and asylum seeker Eddie who meet at Gatwick Airport. Both seek a better life. Their hilarious adventures take them from Didcot to Dover, from Milton Keynes to Crawley, evading the authorities in a quest to fulfil their dreams. A witty and heartfelt piece For One Night Only tugs at the heartstrings and entertains as much as it provokes. Letting Go by Rukhsana Ahmad is a haunting love story set in Dover focusing on the relationship between a Liberian Asylum Seeker and a British Asian teacher. Both are imprisoned by their pasts, unable to move forward until the intervention of the mysterious Raza. An atmospheric and evocative piece, Letting Go deals with the anguish of leaving those you love and the terrible choices that some of us must face...
