A new play by Chris Thorpe and Rachel Chavkin – the award-winning team who brought you Confirmation. We all have a nationality. Or almost all of us. Status is a show about someone who doesn’t want his any more. About running away from the national story you’re given. About who is responsible for that story and what might happen to it if you give it up. Status springs from conversations about who we might be, and whether your country needs you more than you might need it.
