Imagine being forced away from the country you were born in. The first challenge is to live, then create in a second language. Sorry for My English reflects the bittersweet beauty (and often hilarious quirks) of trying to voice love and loss in words that are unfamiliar.

The performance blends monologues, poetry, music and movement, drawing on original texts written by the performers themselves all of whom are living in exile because of who they are or what they have stood up for. 

Created and performed by artists in exile from across the world, Sorry for My English turns linguistic imperfection into a stand up comedy-cum-theatrical performance to connect English-speaking audiences together and share in the difficulties of creating in a foreign language.

Raw, funny and deeply moving, Sorry for My English is about the most human of all experiences: belonging.
