They are about the people who cannot leave it, and why. <em>His House</em>, Remi Weekes&rsquo;s astonishingly assured 2020 debut, understands this so completely that it builds its entire architecture — literal and dramatic — around a couple who are told, in plain bureaucratic English, that they are not permitted to move. Bol and Rial are asylum seekers from South Sudan, granted a fragile probationary status in England on the condition that they stay put in the dilapidated council house assigned to them. The ghosts arrive almost immediately. The trap was set before the haunting started, and it was set by an immigration officer with a clipboard.</p>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 09:00:00 +0000
