by Benedict Lombe
When a woman receives an unexpected letter from the British Passport Office, she is forced to confront an old mystery: why does her South African passport not carry her first name? Armed with the soundtrack of favourite '90s TV shows, she sets out on a journey that will take her back to the turmoil of Mobutu's Congo, growing up in post-Apartheid South Africa, moving to Ireland and finding love in a hostile England.
As her journey becomes inextricably linked with the tides of global history, how far will she go to unravel the truth?
By turns wickedly funny and strikingly lyrical, Benedict Lombe's play Lava is an explosive debut that will turn the way you see the world on its axis. It premiered at the Bush Theatre, London, in July 2021.
