Event info

Start Time: 7.30pm

Description

Premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2008, this collection of monologues offers a revelatory state-of-the-nation look at early 21st century Britain.

The characters - ranging from high-class hookers to 7/7 survivors - represent a generation living in a world where it seems anything and everything has become acceptable. Heart-strings are pulled as hope and individual faith are sought amidst social cynicism.

Hickson’s Fringe smash went on to find success in the West End and off-Broadway, so we are excited to introduce this production to our audiences as yet another Newcastle premiere for our Studio Theatre.
