Rohingya

Since August of 2017, over 700,000 Rohingya have fled from their homes in the Rakhine State of Myanmar to escape violence at the hands of their own government. They join 300,000 Rohingya already living in refugee camps in Bangladesh that had fled in years prior, escaping the very same persecution. With over one million displaced Rohingya in Bangladesh alone, the time for action is long past due.

Unmuted Stories commissioned a three month research and aid trip to Southeast Asia, during which Aiden and Trevor conducted interviews with Burmese citizens and Rohingya refugees and worked with experts, journalists, and non-profits focused on this issue.

The trip culminated in the creation of The Wrong Place: or, How Not to Write a Play About the Rohingya Genocide, an original play about the Rohingya genocide and refugee crisis in Myanmar and Bangladesh.

Please follow Unmuted Stories’ Instagram and join the email list for regular updates and more information on the play.

With shows at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, Two River Theater in Red Bank, NJ, and 826 Valencia in San Francisco, CA under its belt, The Wrong Place will be heading overseas in September!
