IF YOU are born in a country where being yourself can get you killed, exile is your only choice. Adam is the remarkable true story of a young transgender man having to make that choice and begin his journey.

From Egypt to Scotland, this powerful, award-winning production charts Adam’s fight across borders and genders to find a place to call home.

A remarkable multimedia production, Adam features a stunning score composed by Olivier award-winner Jocelyn Pook (Eyes Wide Shut, Gangs of New York) sung by a virtual choir of trans and non-binary individuals from around the world.

An unforgettable thunderbolt of feeling……. The Telegraph ★★★★★
