Pilot Theatre explores themes of migration and immigration in the Albert Camus-inspired Outsiders at Liverpool Playhouse Studio from October 13 to 17.

Its reimagining of an enigmatic story is written by Emteaz Hussain following her highly acclaimed play Blood which, like Outsiders, gave new life to a well-known story, placing the story of Romeo and Juliet into a Pakistani community in contemporary Britain.

Outsiders looks back to the murder of an unnamed man in Algeria in the 1940s and reimagines the surrounding events from the perspective of the gunman’s girlfriend and the dead man’s sister. The cast features Lou Broadbent and Sara Sadeghi.

You can hear director Fraser Corfield and actors Sara Sadaghi and Lou Broadbent talking to BTG's Yorkshire editor Mark Smith in the BTG podcast.
