The evocative and compelling production has been captivating audiences across the country and comes to Liverpool as part of Black History Month. Receiving high acclaim from countless media outlets, it tells the true story of how Teresa May’s ‘hostile environment’ policy harassed, arrested, detained and deported migrants of the Windrush generation.
With the aim of bullying people out of the UK who had been residents here for decades, the Home Office scandalously refused these people access to work, benefits, housing and healthcare in the country they had called home for over fifty years. Fortunately, the injustice was exposed by Guardian journalist Amelia Gentleman — who has also shown much praise for the play.

Set to be one of the most dynamic shows at The Capstone Theatre of the Autumn/Winter season, Windrush: The Betrayal comes courtesy of playwright Mark Grey and Agape Theatre. Described as “one of London’s best kept secrets” by Kentish Times, Mark Grey has been making a big name for himself in London after a string of mesmerising sell-out productions.
Mark Grey said: “It’s an honour to bring this thought-provoking production to Liverpool for our debut appearance in the city. The people of Liverpool have themselves been subject to some scandals and mistreatment from the government and the city received a fair number of Windrush migrants, so I am sure it will resonate quite deeply.”
