300 FRIENDS IN HACKNEY WICKED!

Site Specific Theatre piece comes to Hackney Wicked Art Festival

300 Friends, first performed as part of The Albany Director Lab series, supported by the Young Vic Young Directors Scheme, shows at Hackney Wicked Art Festival.

‘We’re all going to die, you know. You should take comfort from that’

Sometimes it seems that the day-to-day takes over from the goals we once had. We get a job to tide us over, our expectations diminish and the trivial becomes disproportionately important. We mortgage our lives on fame and the quick fix, terrified of not making a ‘success’ of our lives, or finding our place.

Maybe we will never be able to change the world. Are we paralysed by our own pressure? Are our dreams unrealistic? Or is this just how growing up goes? ­
