Jumping on my Shadow

Synopsis:
there are stories in bread... Anna's grandmother folds her secrets into the dough so they won't rise and can't be shared. Anna tries to break the bread to set the stories free. Mr Miah scatters the crumbs of his life to the seven winds. And in the heat of the bakery, Josip, the boy from nowhere, confronts Anna with a powerful story burning to be told. Inspired by the diverse communities of London's East End, this play explored the experiences of the exile and refugee, dealing with family ties, personal growth and finding a place in the world. A ghostly feast of tales, this was a dynamic production rich in flavours, movement, colours and sounds - a treat for the senses!

Notes:
Winner of the Arts Council of England 2002 John Whiting Award.
