'''''Silver Birch House''''' is the first play by the British-Turkish playwright Leyla Nazli. The play concerns the life of a peasant family in the Anatolian mountains during the 1960s and 1970s, a turbulent period in modern Turkish history. ''Silver Birch House'' was first staged in May 2007 at the Arcola Theatre in Dalston, London, as part of the Orient Express Season. It was directed by the Arcola's founder, Mehmet Ergen, and starred Peter Polycarpou in the role of the family patriarch Haydar. The play received largely positive reviews from London's theatre press.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2007/may/17/theatre3|title=Theatre review: Silver Birch House / Arcola, London|first=Lyn|last=Gardner|date=17 May 2007|website=the Guardian|accessdate=12 November 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/theatre/show-23366173-details/The+Orient+Express+Festival:+Silver+Birch+House/showReview.do | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081217062014/http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/theatre/show-23366173-details/The+Orient+Express+Festival:+Silver+Birch+House/showReview.do | url-status=dead | archive-date=December 17, 2008 | title=This is London Magazine }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081209234949/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/|url-status=dead|archive-date=9 December 2008|title=Culture|date=8 March 2017|publisher=|accessdate=12 November 2018|via=www.telegraph.co.uk}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/stage/theatre/article1799385.ece|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110517040346/http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/stage/theatre/article1799385.ece|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 17, 2011|title=Home Page – The TLS|website=TheTLS|accessdate=12 November 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.thestage.co.uk/reviews/review.php/16838/silver-birch-house |title=The Stage / Reviews / Silver Birch House |date=September 27, 2007 |work=The Stage |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927191800/https://www.thestage.co.uk/reviews/review.php/16838/silver-birch-house |archive-date=27 September 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
