In My Name was previously seen at the fringe Old Red Lion Theatre in Islington.

Described as a visceral and terrifying dark comedy, it is set on the day after London wins the bid for the Olympics – and bombs go off across the capital. Press materials call the play a "bold and funny insight into the consequences of allowing life to pass you by... because no matter how much you bury your head in the sand, the world has a funny way of forcing itself right through your front door."
