Philip Arditti is a Turkish Jewish actor, writer, theatre-maker and translator who, back in the day, was one of the founding members of the Arcola Theatre in Dalston. He studied acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and has worked across film, TV and stage in the UK and Turkey over the last two decades. Over coffee and cake we chatted about the struggle of finding his place as a young foreign man in London, the RADA years, his enduring connection to resistance movements in Turkey and his upcoming show, with his co-creator Nina Bowers, English Kings Killing Foreigners at the Soho Theatre.

I Am An Immigrant is an ice&fire theatre production hosted by Christine Bacon, edited by Helen Clapp. Cover art by Ada Jusic.
