"Asylym's not a dirty word"
"Depends who says it..."
Harlow. Just outside the M25.
Emine is more interested in a dead cat than her kids…Al is lost in Grindr, discovering that trying to have a love life is incompatible with his incessant need to mollycoddle his ungrateful, acid-tongued sister Ayşe - a fierce and intelligent young woman, drowning in the mire of social media.
Set against a hyper-modern online framework based on fleeting moments of connection, 'Screens' is the story of a Turkish-Cypriot family barely treading water, clinging onto their sense of identity online, for real, and most importantly by inheritance.
Screens is written by emerging talent, Stephen Laughton (Run, Vault Festival; Nine, Arcola Theatre). Stephen has been working with Headlong Theatre as part of their HeadStart programme for emerging writers and is an alumnus of both the Royal Court’s Invitational Writers’ Group and Skylines at the Hampstead Theatre.
