Wasted

Synopsis

I'm making a decision. I'm changing things. This is it. Three old friends. One remarkable day. For Ted, Danny and Charlotte, it s time to seize control. Make a difference. Change things. This is it. A day glo trip through the parks and raves and cafes of South London, where life is what you make it. The rapid fire words of Kate Tempest paint a picture of lives less ordinary in an unforgiving world, sound-tracked by an exhilarating score. A play about love, life and losing your mind.

Our Review:

15 May 2012

"There's more to life than getting wasted," resonates the final words of this new play that blends spoken word, rap and poetry into a hard-hitting tale about modern life told through the eyes of a triumvirate of 20-somethings who are starting to realise that growing up isn't all it's cut out to be.

Charlotte (Lizzy Watts) is a disillusioned teacher who, perceiving the inequality in the education system, walks out in frustration at her inability to express to her state school class that they should go out and "smash a window". Then there's her ex-boyfriend Danny (Ashley George) who is in denial about accepting the responsibilities of adulthood and more preoccupied with London's jobless boho scene, his band and getting Charlotte back. Finally there's Ted (Cary Crankson), stuck in a dead end data entry job with a secretary who "stinks of custard creams".
