Would you die for your country?From rehearsal room microaggressions, to the battlefields of France, into the bureaucracy of applying for citizenship, join Shakespeare''s Globe Ensemble veterans Nina Bowers and Philip Arditti in English Kings Killing Foreigners as they explore their histories alongside England''s own as unwilling actors in a national story.This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere of RealFake Theatre and Camden People''s Theatre co-production at Camden People''s Theatre in April 2024.>
