In Search of England

In Search of England

September 14, 2018 by Marc

by Neil D’Arcy-Jones

“There’s no such thing as countries…”

George is in search of England, or to be more precise, what it means to be English. He was born English, his parents are English, but he’s not sure whether he is any more. So he’s back to find out. At least, that’s what he says. Colchester author, writer and journalist Neil D’Arcy-Jones’ play about nationality, immigration and love makes its hometown debut following a hit run in London.

In Search of England is the debut production of Packing Shed Theatre, set up to promote and produce new writing from the Eastern Region.

Mercury Studio Theatre, Colchester
March 9 to 11, 2017

“…a smartly psychological probe into what it means to ‘be’ English.”
– London City Nights.
