I Have Before Me… charts the bitter-sweet relationship between a young Rwandan woman and a British poet as he tries to help her write out her story. Humorous, touching and at times disturbing, the play was inspired by the real life experiences of young Rwandan refugees in the UK.

Directed by Drew Ackroyd whose credits include the hugely successful British premiere of Larry Kramer’s The Destiny of Me at the Finborough Theatre (Nicholas de Jongh’s No 1 Critics Choice for 3 weeks running, Evening Standard).
