ENG-ER-LAND

A funny, painful play about longing to belong

First two performances - Pay What You Can

1997 is a confusing time for 14 year old Lizzie. Her mum’s from India, her Dad says he’s Scottish, but she was born here, in England. Rugby to be specific. And all she really (really) wants is to look like Gwen Stefani.

As her mates turn their back when she needs them most, and her Dad’s affection seems to be focused elsewhere, Lizzie starts to question if there's anywhere she really belongs.

Until she finds solace in an unlikely place.

After touring to over 30 venues and being nominated for Best Stage Production at The Asian Media Awards, this new production of ENG-ER-LAND is directed by Max Lindsay and stars Nikhita Lesler as Lizzie.

Written & Produced by Hannah Kumari through her role as Fans For Diversity Campaign Manager at The Football Supporters’ Association, the national, democratic, representative body for football supporters in England and Wales - join here.

Degenerate

Fresh from a sell out run, this dark comedy about a woman (sometimes funny) and her vampire (kills every night) is a battle cry for decaying defiantly, because...how far would you go?
