Theatre
wherever the human heart beats
The University of Bristol’s Spotlights Society presents this one-act verse play about nostalgia, distance, social mobility and home.
On the morning of her wedding, Nina had always planned to go to the beach with her two best friends, Kate and Ben, have a drink, have a smoke and put the world to rest one last time before she becomes a “proper adult”.
But now, on her actual wedding day rather than the one she had fantasised and romanticised, her friends are nowhere to be seen. Over the years that have elapsed since school, their relationships, aspirations, personalities and prospects changed.
“This is a play about DMCs outside the chippy after first nights out, endless meandering bedroom chats, bad dancing, grassing up, distractions, white-hot fierce loyalty, plans gone wrong, Skype catch-ups in the dull blue light, more distractions, walking home in the rain, and being pulled apart by ambition.
“It’s about frustration and compassion and love and jammy dodgers. It’s about reasons to come home. Or go home. Wherever.
“wherever the human heart beats is a play that explores the politics of social mobility through the people that are defined by it.
Nov 25-27, 8pm, £11/£9 concs. Approx running time 50 mins.
