PARTITIONS

Partitions! They’re everywhere, aren’t they? Office spaces, black taxis, landmasses...
Writer Joe Nawaz fancies he knows a thing or two about the “P” word.
In this hilarious whirlwind collision of the personal and the political, Joe uses his family's complex relationship with partition to trace a finger over the scar left by colonial separations. Continents are crossed, dark Hollywood secrets are revealed and Fermanagh family folklore is explored in this spellbinding show which weaves intimate revelations with wider historical perspective and discovers that partitions are still very much alive and well today – but definitely not living in Chiswick…
Joe’s previous work includes the critically-acclaimed one man shows Fake ID and Five Days.
"What a delight to see Joe Nawaz’s quick, expansive, bizarre brain on full display in Partitions. He makes the incendiary and politically-charged engaging, hilarious, and heart-stirring."
PETERSON TOSCANO, Theatrical performance activist & Artist in Residence for the 2026 Imagine Festival of Politics & Ideas.
