"This is a simple, highly emotional and extraordinarily powerful retelling of the Al Abaddi story" The Australian

Australian Premiere
In Our Name tells the true story of the Al Abaddi family: their escape from violent persecution in Iraq and their attempts to find a secure and peaceful home in Australia.


Written by
Nigel Jamieson

Directed by
Nigel Jamieson

With
Silvia Entcheva, Haydar Haydari, Ruchira Jagtap, Tiriel Mora, Isabelle Nicolas, Christopher Pitman, Majid Shokor and Saskia Smith


Australia once seemed a more tolerant country – we took pride in the rich mix of cultures that made up the soup, we were in line with the civilised world in helping and accepting into our embrace refugees from horrors that few of us can imagine. When our government discovered that an election might be won by playing on the worst fear of an anxious electorate, the fear of differences, our country changed.


In Our Name
is Company B’s response to this sad turn of history. Created by Nigel Jamieson, a visionary director of the 2000 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony, All of Me and The Theft of Sita, In Our Name tells the true story of the Al Abaddi family: their escape from violent persecution in Iraq, their continuous displacement, their attempts to find a secure and peaceful home in Australia, and the three and a half years spent behind razor wire in Curtin, Port Hedland and Villawood.

It gives a voice to five year old Afnan, to fifteen year old Humam, their mother and father; it reveals the courage, love and dignity with which these remarkable people have fought to remain a family.
