 In 2013, Nikhil, a gay Indian man living in London, is desperate to find a way to stay in the UK. He finds an unlikely mentor when his nemesis, Theresa May, appears at his flat with an offer to help – if he meets her standards. 

I Dream of Theresa May is a deft political satire that shifts between comedy and nightmare as a queer brown man is radicalised by a diva in blue, the face of a right-wing British government: Theresa May

Writer, Vivek Nityananda commented:

“With this play I was exploring questions of identity and immigration under the ‘hostile environment’ policy. The play reflects on competing ideas of Britishness and the challenges and triumphs of being a queer migrant, with urgent themes that continue to dominate the headlines. However, it's a satire with plenty of room for laughter, and I hope audiences will also come away with lots to think about."
