How Not To Drown

Format: Other

Condition: Very Good — £1.50
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

How Not To Drown was first performed on 4 August 2019 at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh.

"I don't know why my Dad let me go... I was too young, too weak, to make this journey. I wouldn't have sent me... He wouldn't have sent me unless there was a reason."

In 2002, in the turmoil after the end of the Kosovan War, Dritan is sent on the notoriously perilous journey across the
Adriatic with a gang of people smugglers to a new life in Europe. He relies on his young wit and charm to make it to
the UK. But the fight for survival continues as he clings to his identity and sense of self when he ends up in the British care system.

Painful yet uplifting, How Not to Drown shares a story of endurance for a little kid who wasn't safe or welcome
anywhere in the world.

Award-winning theatre company ThickSkin (Chalk Farm, The Static) returns to the stage with an action packed, highly visual production.
