RADA Festival

28 June - 8 July
#RADAfest

Inviting a [r]evolution in theatre, the RADA Festival challenges perceptions, negotiates political fault lines, and lives outside the law in lonely bedsits, vivid dystopias and dusty cabaret bars.

When You Cure Me

Jack Thorne’s debut play is about what happens when love’s young dream hits the biggest hurdle.

Rachel and Peter are 17, and have been dating for six months. But a traumatic attack has left Rachel bedridden and inexplicably paralysed in a claustrophobic sick-room, reliant on her friends and family but raging against their attempts to help. She doesn’t want her fussing mother or gossiping friends. All she wants is Peter – but what does he really want?

Scuttlers

The London premiere of Rona Munro’s 2015 play tackles youth disaffection through the lens of 19th century Manchester street gangs.

Against a backdrop of the industrial revolution and tumultuous social change, the intensity of the rivalry between the Bengal Street Tigers and the Prussia Street gang is matched only by their own internal power struggles.

Strange Orchestra

In a ramshackle Chelsea flat Bohemian landlady Vera Lyndon presides over her lodgers, a group of chronically hard-up young people with aspirations to art, literature, and in some cases sex. Uncertain of their jobs and dreaming of recognition they quarrel, make love, behave abominably, perform deeds of unselfish heroism and dance to the gramophone. The arrival of a charming and charismatic artist adds another dangerous dynamic to the chaos.
