Another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s for THE PLAY’S THE THING !!!

“If you are lucky enough to have a ticket to see The Play’s the Thing at Kennington’s White Bear Theatre, you definitely do not want to know anything about it in advance, and you definitely shouldn’t read the programme note which robs the surprises to come about the structure of this extremely clever piece of metatheatre.“ — London Theatre 1

💀🤍 MEET THE TEAM 🤍💀

Happy Cannibals presents: THE PLAY’S THE THING

A rehearsal takes a dramatic turn.
A friendship implodes in real time.
A misunderstanding has catastrophic consequences.

Maisie has decided to stage a play about her friends. And it isn’t flattering. As accusations are hurled and tears are shed, our characters take a trip down the rabbit hole as they endeavour to find an answer to the impossible question: can we find truth in the theatre? And if so, who has the right to tell it?
 
THE PLAY’S THE THING is a story in three parts about representation, (mis)communication, art, and artifice. It’s a love letter to pub theatre, in all its messiness, contradiction, silliness, and joy.
 
‘Happy Cannibals has already attracted some of the best and brightest young creatives in London. [...] Theirs is a space to watch.’ - The Young(ish) Perspective
