About the Show

Misha Levkov’s debut play about the lives of three women fighting for their families & communities.

As a way of uniting their North London community, half-sisters Laura & Anna plan to stretch a net across the skyline ... but not everyone’s convinced that the net will be the unifier the girls are hoping for. Meanwhile, Syrian refugee Hala finds herself caught in a tangle of immigration red tape. With time running out, the net becomes their arena in the pursuit of justice, joy, and safety.

Critic Reviews (4)

“ ‘In the Net’ is trapped by its own ambition, tied together loosely by too many hefty themes. Somewhere in there is an interesting play waiting to escape and see the light of day.”

“...this play is filled with abstruse philosophical arguments in lieu of drama and the characters act as mouthpieces for arguments on community and action.”

“Heavy on hollow symbolism and woolly philosophical pronouncements, Levkov’s script feels deliberately, obstinately impenetrable and laden down by some achingly arch dialogue.”

“There is much to like in this performance: suspicion of and aggression against strangers, with a heady mix of religious variation, is hardly new, but the current climate crisis adds another dimension of anxiety.”
