We Like to Move it, Move it
(Just Another Immigration Variety Show)

Co-produced with ice&fire UK on a community tour at St. Margaret's House, Queen's Theatre Hornchurch, The Yellow, Brent Libraries, Lewisham Irish Centre, St. Catherine's Church, Stanley Arts & Rich Mix. Tour supported by Arts Council England and King’s College London and the MSN Trust.

How do you solve a problem like immigration? Karaoke, moral philosophy and immigration controls come together in an all-immigrant variety show, serving up jokes, songs and plenty to chew over. There’s something for everyone! (But should there be?)

What is behind our collective acceptance of immigration control? What does it say about us and what do those who have come to the UK from somewhere else want to say about it? ice&fire theatre and Matthew Schmolle productions (in collaboration with the Philosophy Department at King’s College London) invite you to join the (very jolly) conversation. Directed by Olivier award winner Donnacadh O’Briain.

REVIEWS & RESPONSES

''The audience is told, in no uncertain times, that this is to be a “serious play”, and in some respects, it is: few things are more serious than people’s futures hanging in the balance, thanks to the various hoops and hurdles, both physical and metaphorical, that the immigrant characters must negotiate''. - London Theatre 1

★★★★ ''One would have to have a heart of stone not to be humoured by this chaotic but likeable production'' - London Theatre 1
