How Not To Drown - Nicola McCartney
How Not To Drown was first performed on 4 August 2019 at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh.
"I don't know why my Dad let me go... I was too young, too weak, to make this journey. I wouldn't have sent me... He wouldn't have sent me unless there was a reason."
In 2002, in the turmoil after the end of the Kosovan War, Dritan is sent on the notoriously perilous journey across the
Adriatic with a gang of people smugglers to a new life in Europe. He relies on his young wit and charm to make it to
the UK. But the fight for survival continues as he clings to his identity and sense of self when he ends up in the British care system.
Painful yet uplifting, How Not to Drown shares a story of endurance for a little kid who wasn't safe or welcome
anywhere in the world.
Award-winning theatre company ThickSkin (Chalk Farm, The Static) returns to the stage with an action packed, highly visual production.
