Lakavu

Lakavu at the Hope Theatre in Islington!

What would you do if you came across an AIDS orphan in Papua New Guinea? Someone else’s problem? And where is Papua New Guinea anyway?

Simon - young, gay, Australian - is an aid worker ready to save the world, from a distance. When he comes across an orphaned baby girl, his world changes. Her mother has just died in childbirth and he may be the baby’s only chance to survive.

Base on a true events, ‘Lakavu’ brings to life the story of a man who thinks he’s not good enough. It is a tale of discovery: a mysterious country, a little beating heart and the myths we tell ourselves.

Praised for his acting work, Matt Gibbs’s first play explores the fragility of life that connects us and the hope that keeps us going.

The ran for four nights only at the award winning Hope Theatre in London, run by three-time Off West End award nominated director Matthew Parker.
