Update: As you would expect, the economic impact of lockdown has informed our decisions on what we can stage, particularly in the coming months. With this in mind, it is with a heavy heart that we have cancelled our season of Cancelled. You can read more about our updates here.
“It’s important that we tell you that we have no idea what we’re doing.”
There’s a sense of desperation in the air as Charlotte, Danny and Ted meet up in London; recalling their youth and the optimism they used to wear. In an unforgiving city, they’ve found themselves getting lost in a wasted scene – but it’s not too late to change, right?
…Right?
Turning traditional theatre on its head with scenes of slam poetry and an on-stage DJ, Wasted explores the dissatisfaction of modern life in a radical fashion.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS PLAY
“Wasted is a bold and contemporary piece of storytelling that demands to be read, programmed and seen. Telling the story of three 30-somethings worrying their life is getting away on them, it offers up a startling combination of spoken word poetry, hip hop and clubbing culture. A play for our times.”
