About How Not To Drown

ThickSkin return to the stage with an action packed, highly visual production telling the painful yet uplifting true story of an 11-year-old unaccompanied asylum-seeker. In 2002, in the turmoil after the end of the Kosovan War, Dritan is sent on the notoriously perilous journey across the Adriatic with a gang of people smugglers to a new life in Europe.
