StoneCrabs Theatre and Catalan Theatre Company Bots and Barrals will present Skin In Flames by Guillem Clua at the Park Theatre in Finsbury Park, north London, from 13 May to 6 June 2015, with an official opening on 14 May 2015.

"A famous photojournalist returns to the country where his career was launched during a brutal civil war. One of his photographs - a schoolgirl flying through the air in the aftermath of a bomb explosion - has since become a world-renowned icon of war, violence, and innocence. Whilst the photograph has become a household image, the girl has never been identified. Twenty years later, the photographer returns to the fledgling democracy to receive a prestigious peace award, but first must be interviewed by an ambitious young woman whose story seems eerily familiar..."

The production will star Spanish actors Laya Marti and Bea Segura, making their London stage debuts alongside Almiro Andrade and David Lee-Jones.

The drama had its world premiere in Barcelona in 2005 and has since been seen in Greece, Poland, Latin America, and the United States.
