Can't Stand Me Now

Synopsis:
Ben is a model son and friend, expertly picking his way through a heady mix of a parental split, peer pressure, and unruly hormones. So what does it take to knock this model off his pedestal, and is there enough polish in Chatham for him to regain his sheen?

Displaced

Synopsis:
1974. Greek Cypriot Demetria is adamant she wants to celebrate her birthday with her Turkish neighbours the Ibrahims. But as war breaks out, friendships and relationships are tested to the limit as neighbour turns on neighbour... 2015. Leon and June are hoping to live out their retirement dreams in the sunny climes of Kyrenia. When a stranger claims the legal ownership of their new house, Leon, June and Firat all find their worlds thrown into chaos. But is he who he says he is? Displaced is a play about love, identity, and the continuous ripple of consequences that conflict can bring.

Notes:
Now in its seventh consecutive year, the multi-award-winning Finborough Theatre - the coalface of British Theatre - presents its annual explosion of new writing - Vibrant 2015 - A Festival of Finborough Playwrights, running on Sunday and Monday evenings and Tuesday and Thursday matinees between 25 October-12 November 2015. This year's festival features an eclectic and idiosyncratic selection of twelve staged readings of twelve new works by a dozen UK and international playwrights, both established and new, all discovered, developed or championed by the Finborough Theatre. Concentrated solely on full length works for the stage, this year's Vibrant 2015 - A Festival of Finborough Playwrights includes playwrights from England, Scotland, Wales, the United States and New Zealand. As always we strive to be as diverse as possible, and this year's festival once again features 50% female playwrights, together with work from African-American, East Asian, British-Lebanese, British-Israeli and Maori playwrights.

White Riot

Synopsis:
Twenty-year-old football fan Danny is the first person in his family to go to university, and today is his first visit home in months. It's also a big day in the football calendar and an even bigger day for Danny's dad Robert. Today is the day Robert will secure his reputation as one of Millwall's faces. But how does Danny fit into this world now? White Riot is an honest and poignant exploration into some of contemporary British society's taboo and controversial issues. The play uses the framework of football violence to explore a father and son's relationship, and discusses tolerance, pride, changing generational attitudes, the role class plays in higher education and the complexity of aspiration.
