I was eight years old when I come to H'Inglan' - I travel on my mother's passportAugust Henderson, fifty-two years in England, a proud West Bromwich Albion fan, part-owner of a fruit and veg emporium, and a devoted dad.

August won't go quietly. August in England opened at the Bush Theatre, London, in April 2023. Nominated for The Stage Debut Award for Best Writer.
