{"product_id":"hamid-and-shakespeare-majid-adin-9781912408801","title":"Hamid and Shakespeare: The Tragi-Comic Journey of a Refugee","description":"A chance spotting from the back of a refrigerated lorry of a poster marking Shakespeare's 400th birthday spurs a refugee's imagination to transport himself from his detention cell to a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream at London's Globe Theatre. As we move between the 21st and 17th centuries, Shakespeare introduces Hamid both to a promised new land, and to a series of well- known plays through which Hamid tells his own experiences: of interrogation, of his journey from home: crossing the sea, getting lost in the forest, his months spent in the Calais Jungle refugee camp, and his arrival in the UK in the back of a refrigerated lorry. In turn, Shakespeare teaches Hamid how to speak English and how to behave as he navigates the London Underground, and gives him a helping hand at the Home Office. The book is created in collaboration with award-winning theatre company Good Chance who have worked with Adin since meeting him in their pop-up dome in the Calais Jungle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Majid Adin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1912408805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781912408801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Myriad Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Majid Adin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991099015423,"sku":"9781912408801","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc7d8423-7e2a-4e5b-baef-ec37351e7a7a.jpg?v=1683308430","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hamid-and-shakespeare-majid-adin-9781912408801","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
