About This Show

Following a sell-out run in 2019, this thrilling new version of Sophie Ellerby’s LIT has been specially filmed for audiences to enjoy at home.
“I’m making him work for it. Got him to buy me a pack of Tangfastics and a can of Lilt before I showed him my tits.” The problem with love is that it’s different for everyone. For Bex, love is a handjob in detention and the promise of a date at a Chinese buffet. She doesn’t even like Chinese.

LIT explores the turbulent teenage years of a girl looking for love in all the wrong places, and reunites director Stef O’Driscoll with rising star Eve Austin – reprising her role as Bex following a nomination for Best Actress in a New Play (Broadway World Awards).

Don’t miss your chance to see this landmark digital revival.

Please note: LIT contains depictions of and references to sex and sexual violence, rape of a minor and underage pregnancy. It also contains strong language, drug use and themes of sexism, misogyny, the foster and care system and the adoption system. The show is recommended for ages 16+.

Extreme care has been taken to protect and support all those involved throughout the development of this production. Whilst LIT is not an autobiographical story, it is a true to life depiction of the lived experience of young people living in the UK today.

If you are affected by the details, characters or stories depicted within the story, links to organisations that can offer further support to victims, perpetrators and those living with the impact and traumas of abuse are included at the end of the film.
