20 years ago, 9/11 changed the world.

NOMINATED! Off West End Award for Best Performance Ensemble

“When I leave here today I drive to the middle of the woods where my mother – a very bright, very logical woman – is hiding because she’s angry and that is why she’s…not making any sense.”

20 years ago, 9/11 changed the world. Globally, it precipitated bloody wars and conflict that still endure today – events that have shaped our lives, and the world we live in.

★★★★
“Politically charged and exhilarating.”
The Stage (on White Guy on the Bus)

Premiering at Omnibus Theatre, this new American play explores the impact of the terrorist attacks on one family, and the profound effect of collective grief on a nation.

★★★★
“A searing piece of theatre – as insightful as it is brutal.”
The Spy in the Stalls (on White Guy on the Bus)

All Ignite Theatre’s last collaboration with the writer Bruce Graham, White Guy on the Bus, earned the company four Off West End Award nominations.

Thanks to the Royal Victoria Hall Foundation, Theatre Together, Oak Foundation, Unity Theatre Trust, Sarah Quinlan and Jane Farrell.
