UK LGBT EVENTS - Playfight @ Soho Theatre

08 - 26
Playfight @ Soho Theatre

Julia Grogans Edinburgh smash-hit transfers to Soho Theatre this Spring. A blinding, sucker-punch of a play honest, hilarious, heartfelt. Phoebe Waller-Bridge Ive been thinking about time. Every second. The ugly bits, the fuzzy bits. The bits so shameful you feel your knickers shimmy down your legs and bury themselves underground. Three friends grow up under an ancient tree. Theyre filthy, brutal and full of hope. By turns hysterical and poignant, Playfight is a stunningly accomplished ( Observer) and searing probe of their inner lives as they hunt for love. Proper, ugly love. As their roots sink deeper, the branches stretch higher so they decide to climb. An Edinburgh Festival smash hit, Playfight is a marvellous jewel of a play ( Times) that shines a vivid light on adolescent desire in a landscape of rising sexual violence.
