A Play, A Pie and A Pint - Detained

The British immigration system is broken.

Between slogans and party-political hard lines, the people in the middle go unnoticed. The people clearing your plates, serving your drinks, your colleagues, your friends.

Bea and Yemi are best friends, basically sisters. It never crossed Yemi's mind that Bea would ever betray her, it never crossed Bea's that Yemi would lie. When Bea catches her boyfriend with someone else, it sets off a chain of events that lands Yemi behind bars at a detention centre, with Bea desperately trying to escape what she's done.

Detained is a tense new drama about two best friends and the broken British immigration system.
