Synopsis

I'm making a decision. I'm changing things. This is it.

Three old friends. One remarkable day. For Ted, Danny and Charlotte, it’s time to seize control. Make a difference. Change things. This is it.

A day glo trip through the parks and raves and cafes of South London, where life is what you make it. The rapid fire words of Kate Tempest paint a picture of lives less ordinary in an unforgiving world, sound-tracked by an exhilarating score.

A play about love, life and losing your mind.

The production will tour nationwide to theatres and Student Unions in Spring 2012.

We've enticed Kate Tempest - the UK’s most exciting performance poet, who is also currently serving up a storm in the UK hip-hop scene with her band SOUND OF RUM - to put pen to paper and write her first play.

Specifically commissioned for a festival-going audience and premiering at the Latitude Festival, WASTED is Kate's debut play and features her trademark lyrical ferocity in a dynamic theatrical staging.

Wasted was developed with assistance from the Orchard Project, a program of The Exchange (www.exchangenyc.org).
