Insane Asylum Seekers
Written by Laith Elzubaidi and directed by Olivier Award-nominee Emily Ling Williams, 'Insane Asylum Seekers' is a side-splittingly funny and deeply moving play. It follows Laith, 27, who is grappling with a secret and the legacy of his parents' escape from Iraq 30 years ago, while dealing with their eccentricities. The show, presented by Samia Djilli and Sarah Allen, transfers to the Bush Theatre's main stage after a sold-out Studio run.
Buying advice
How to book
Insane Asylum Seekers is cheap and simple to book. Most nights top out at £25, with Thursday the only night reaching £35, and preview performances are cheaper still, from £15.
Ways to pay less
The best value is a preview performance, from £15, which is cheaper than anything else. If you miss those, pick an off-peak date: mid-range seats top out at £20 against £25 on peak dates, about 25% more. You can also find green seats on the seating plan for £15 Band C tickets. Students pay less, and groups of 11 or more get one free ticket.
