GutShot Productions presents the world premiere of The Eye of a Needle, written by Chris MacDonald, at Southwark Playhouse - The Little Space, near Elephant & Castle, in south London, with previews from 27 Aug 2014, officially opening on 29 Aug and continuing its limited engagement through to 20 Sep 2014.

Synopsis: 'Laurence loves to go out, get wrecked and rave to dub step. He pays for it with a job at UK Immigration Control. Deciding who does or doesn't get to stay in the country is hard enough without a hangover. Ugandan gay rights activist Natale Bamadi finally makes it to the coveted shores of the United Kingdom but neither she nor Laurence can begin to prepare themselves for what happens when her high-profile asylum case is dropped onto his desk. The Eye of a Needle gets under the skin of a system branded by both Left and Right as 'not fit for purpose'.'

The Eye of a Needle is directed by Holly Race-Roughan and designed by Fly Davis.
