BEG YOUR PARDON is the story of Thea, who is afflicted by a great feeling of injustice especially in relation to immigration, as her friend Marwa is a victim. Thea cannot bear her own happiness and decides to emigrate, leaving her husband and son behind to travel with Chica to the other side of the world. Once there, Thea realizes that the people she encounters are similar to those she left, and that she herself remains unable to communicate with her environment. The play is based on interviews with politicians and immigrants conducted by Sasha Marianna Salzmann in Copenhagen.
