Benedict Lombe Libri

When a woman receives an unexpected letter from the British Passport Office, she is forced to confront an old mystery: why does her South African passport not carry her first name? By turns wickedly funny and strikingly lyrical, Benedict Lombe's play Lava is an explosive debut that will turn the way you see the world on its axis.

A fierce, funny and intoxicating play about the enduring power – and fragility – of memory and love. Premiered at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2024.
