About the Show

A primary school in the UK today reports a pupil believed to be harbouring anti-British sentiments to the police. 1842, the remnants of the East India Company army retreat from Kabul to British India. A woman searches for her lover on the Highway of Death, Iraq, 1991. An arms deal negotiated in a war zone hotel changes a young businessman’s life forever. Wipe These Tears is theatrical montage journeying across borders and centuries to explore imperial methods of crushing dissent and to celebrate solidarity.
