“You are an experienced Medical Provider working in a refugee camp. During a recent exchange with a Primary Actor you promised something which you were unable to deliver. You feel you have let this Primary Actor down . . . .”

Here, in a London training centre, people prepare to help strangers on another side of the world. There, a city is burning. Here, Sarah gets a meal deal. There, people are in danger. Here, Khaled watches a training video. There, there are men with guns. Here, Sarah and Khaled flirt with each other. There, an aid worker looks after a refugee.

Suddenly — here becomes there. Roleplay, desire and compassion will intertwine, revealing the limits of help, the beginnings of harm and the complexities of humanitarian work.
