Gaby Ford presents The English Theatre of Rome in An Italian Premiere
“Subtly brilliant... viciously funny... Its name should be spoken at water coolers daily, and every downtrodden magazine intern given a free ticket so that they know they are not alone, or unpitied”. -The Times
NSFW by Lucy Kirkwood
Directed by and with Daniel Roy Connelly
Featuring:
Ingo Arnason, Muhammad Abdulvasiev,
Gabriele Dentoni, Angeliqa Devi, and
Ortensia Fioravanti.
Stage Manager: Victoria McAteer
A razor-sharp comedy about power games and privacy in the media and beyond. Carrie's getting them out for the lads, Charlotte's just grateful to have a job, Sam's being asked to sell his soul, Rupert’s a couldn’t-care-less toff, Mr Bradshaw is one mightily pissed off dad, Miranda’s a self-styled menopausal old hag and Aidan's trying to keep his magazine from going under. Set in the cut-throat media world, Lucy Kirkwood's hilarious comedy exposes power games and privacy in the age of Photoshop.
