“NAYLOR IS EMERGING AS ONE OF OUR BEST NEW PLAYWRIGHTS.” Times of London
On Valentine’s Day 2019, the British Home Secretary refused to allow a Jihadi bride to return home from Syria, claiming she was a threat to British values. In defiance of International Law, he revoked her citizenship. ‘The Nights’ was Henry Naylor’s provocative response.
“NAYLOR’S NAME REMAINS A MARK OF QUALITY FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO SEE GOOD POLITICAL DRAMA ON THE FRINGE.” – iNewspaperFive years after her colleague was beheaded by ISIS fighters, Carter, an Islamophobic journalist still burns for revenge against the extremists. So when she hears that a Jihadi bride wants to return from Syria – she insists the girl be given the harshest treatment. But after encountering an antique dealer with a violent past, Carter is forced to question her choices.
‘The Nights’ is a timely play which questions the West’s response to the Middle Eastern crisis. Using Naylor’s characteristically minimalist style, ‘The Nights’ employs magic realism to deliver an important message.
