About the show

From Theatre Tickets Direct's listing

The world premiere of the Tony Craze Award-winning play, Insane Asylum Seekers, comes to the Bush Theatre. Book Insane Asylum Seekers tickets on London Theatre.

This moving and hilarious tale explores the British-Iraqi refugee experience. The play masterfully tells a multi-generational story spanning 100 years of a British-Iraqi family, seamlessly shifting between the past and the present. The show begs the question: does the past ever end?

Insane Asylum Seekers focuses primarily on the experience of 27-year-old Laith, who was able to keep a secret for years but now it’s catching up with him. As Laith said, “At 27, my dad had escaped multiple bloodthirsty dictatorships. I’m 27, I had a panic attack watching the final episode of Succession.” Between that and his mother continuously throwing things at seagulls and his father wandering away during dangerous situations, it’s a lot to manage.

Insane Asylum Seekers in London stars Tommy Sim’aan as Laith. Sim’aan is known for starring in The Fear of 13, as well as Starcrossed, which earned him a nomination for Best Performer in a Play at the 2022 Stage Debut Awards.

Insane Asylum Seekers is a play by Laith Elzubaidi, a British-Iraqi comedy and drama writer. Elzubaidi is the co-producer of Soho Theatre’s Hakaya: A British-Arab Variety Show. He also founded the British-Arab Writers Group, which is a group of over 200 writers.…

How I list these

Everything here comes from the feeds of the ticket and experience sellers I work with: Theatre Tickets Direct and Viator. That's a lot, but it isn't everything on in London: venues that sell their own tickets, or sell through sellers whose feeds don't reach me, won't show here yet.

Events are in date order, and a show on several dates appears once, on its first, with how many more there are. Things to do any day start with the seller's own UK picks, then those rated 4.5 or more, guided before self-guided, shared before private, then by rating and price. Every ticket link is an ad: if you buy, the seller may pay me commission, at no cost to you. Commission never changes what's listed or the order.

A price is the seller's lowest for one ticket (or one person, when two book a tour together), as its feed gives it, and I've checked on each seller's own pages what it covers. Where I haven't checked what a seller's price covers, or its feed is more than a day and a half old, I show no price at all.

I don't list resold tickets for football in England and Wales, or for any match in a UEFA or FIFA competition: selling or advertising them without the organiser's permission is a crime (section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994). Times are UK times. Events change and sell out, so the seller's page is the final word.
