Here, in a London training centre, people prepare to help strangers on another side of the world. There, a city is burning.
Here, Sarah gets a meal deal. There, people are in danger. Here, Khaled watches a training video. There, there are men with guns. Here, Sarah and Khaled flirt with each other. There, an aid worker looks after a refugee.
Suddenly – here becomes there.
In Sami Ibrahim's play Multiple Casualty Incident, roleplay, desire and compassion intertwine, revealing the limits of help, the beginnings of harm and the complexities of humanitarian work. It was first performed at The Yard Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Jaz Woodcock-Stewart.
Sami Ibrahim is an award-winning writer from London. His other plays include A Sudden Violent Burst of Rain and two Palestinians go dogging, which was nominated for an Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in an Affiliate Theatre and received critical acclaim.
