Written by Ella Hickson, performance for Corbett Theatre at East 15, 2020

Spanning more than 150 years, the play travels through time and continents. From oil fields of 1908 Persia; to the Iraq war in 2021, through to Cornwall 2051. Oil follows the lives of one woman and her daughter in an epic, hurtling collision of empire, history and family. The play examines the world we live in, the world we have inherited to ask, why are we so dependent on oil?

Due to covid-19 this show was sadly cancelled.
