Oliver Mbolokele’s Hostile Environment, is a powerful and direct message to the Home Office. Staged in a home office interview, Oliver is repeatedly asked questions along the lines of “Who are you?” and “What is your status?”, to which he replies: “My status is love. My status is loyalty. My status is my time.”. His true response to the never-ending Home Office questions is one that stays with the audience, who are the only ones in this short monologue that truly see him as he is – an individual with thoughts and feelings that go beyond a name on a piece of paper.
