An anthology of five of the best plays from VAULT Festival 2023, London’s leading festival of live performance.
Fanboy by Joe Sellman-Leava is a love-hate letter to pop culture and nostalgia. A five-star hit at the Edinburgh Fringe, it’s the story of a thirty-something, self-confessed nerd – obsessed with Star Wars and Nintendo – asking why his generation can’t let go of their childhoods.
Five Years with the White Man by Eloka Obi and Saul Boyer is a startling account of satirist ABC Merriman-Labor – the greatest Black Briton ever to have been forgotten – whose dreams of becoming the greatest writer of his generation lead him on a defiant journey from Sierra Leone to Edwardian London.
Honour-Bound by Zahra Jassi is a powerful solo show about family, anti-Blackness, and what we’re willing to sacrifice for love. After Simran loses her friend to honour-based violence, she has to answer some life-changing questions: will she and her boyfriend be able to live safely ever after?
How We Begin by Elisabeth Lewerenz is a tender exploration of love, queerness and identity. Helen and Diana are perfect for each other: they’ve both got good degrees, busy jobs and nice flats. There’s just one small problem – Diana’s got a boyfriend.
I Fucked You in My Spaceship by Louis Emmitt-Stern is a razor-sharp comedy-drama about sex and relationships. Two couples each invite a stranger into their homes with the hope of sparking new life. Instead, they find themselves threatened by alienation, abduction and invasion…
