Battle Of Green Lanes, The

Synopsis:
gives you a real sense of what it's like to be a young Turk living in London and of the tensions with the Greek Cypriots in and around north London's Green Lanes. Omar himself plays the hero, Erol, in desperate search of his identity. His father runs a cafe that proudly sports posters of Ataturk. His uncle, busy doing property deals in Cyprus, is an even more defiant patriot. But Erol's best mates, including Maria whom he hotly fancies, are all Greek Cypriots. His sense of confusion is intensified by a pair of Muslim missionaries who seek to persuade him to abandon his western existence and join the fight to create an Islamic state. - Michael Billington, Guardian

Thank God It's Friday

Synopsis:
-

Notes:
Written By Amy Rosenthal And Cosh Omar . Hampstead Theatre's second new writing festival is what the theatre describes As "something of A cross-breeding experiment". It's called Daring Pairings And, As the publicity says, "instead of crossing A sheep with A kangaroo And getting A woolly jumper, or A centipede with A parrot And getting A walkie-talkie, we've been cross-breeding writers, Artists And theatre companies."
