There is a Field

Why you all looking at me like that? Eh? You never seen a real Muslim before? Is it cos I’m white?

Mark’s mother wants him to bury his father and it’s up to Saleh to find him and bring him home for a proper East End send off. Only Mark is no longer Mark, he’s Abdullah. There is a Field is a London story of faith, death and family strife reshaped by local crises and global events.

Synergy began working with Martin after his release from prison, commissioning There is a Field as his debut, full-length play.
