"When we came for a romantic walk in the park, we didn't think we would be involved in an international crisis...This side of the line, that side of the line. Does it really make that much of a difference which side I am from?"
When a country's new border is drawn, a couple are divided by the line. Under the rigorous eyes of a brand new border guard, they are trapped in an increasingly absurd nightmare, stuck in between two aggressive nations on the verge of war. A comic new play exploring the imaginary lines that divide us and the severe penalties for breaking them...
The world premiere of the full-length version of a new play by acclaimed young playwright, Kieran Lynn. A shorter version of An Incident at the Border was first seen at Òran Mór in Glasgow as part of David MacLennan's acclaimed A Play, A Pie and A Pint series of lunchtime theatre. It was recently recorded and broadcast on BBC Radio 4.
