An eye for an eye. Its very simple. You choose your homeland like a hyena picking and choosing where he steals his next meal from. Scavenger. Yes you grovel to the feet of Mengistu and when his people spit at you and kick you from the bowl you scuttle across the border. Scavenger.As a violent civil war rages back home in Ethiopia, teenager Alem and his father are in a bed and breakfast in Berkshire. Its his best holiday ever. The next morning his father is gone and has left a note explaining that he and his mother want to protect Alem from the war. This strange grey country of England is now his home. On his own, and in the hands of the social services and the Refugee Council, Alem lives from letter to letter, waiting to hear something from his father. Then he meets carobsessed Mustapha, the lovely outofyourleague Ruth and dangerous Sweeney three unexpected allies who spur him on in his fight to be seen as more than just the Refugee Boy. Lemn Sissays remarkable stage adaptation of Benjamin Zephaniahs bestselling novel is published here in the Methuen Drama Student Edition series, featuring commentary notes by Professor Lynette Goddard (Royal Holloway, University of London, UK) that help the student unpack the plays themes, language, structure and production history to date.
