Summary:

'Alaska' is a tale of prejudice, sex and aggression, a portrait of unabashed racism. The audience is introduced to Frank as a drug-dealing self-righteous history student. Having dropped out of university, he works at a cinema kiosk, where his colleagues are attracted to his tense and sullen manner. But brought into contact with Mamta, an Asian co-worker, he soon emerges as a hostile white supremacist, supporting his pseudo-intellectual prejudices by twisting history and quoting Biblical mistranslations. The play's downward spiral of lies and violence unravels Frank's desperation and obsession, and discusses identity and race in modern Britain. The play was first performed at the Royal Court Jerwood Theatre Upstairs in 2007.
