How far can one go when seeking revenge?

I’m Allergic To People is a new dark comedy by Rebecca Douglass, exploring the experiences of women within sex and dating culture as well as queerness, identity and closure. ​

The play follows the lives of four young adults trying to navigate life after past traumas. Adam is in denial, Elisabeth has trust issues, Olivia is on the verge of a breakdown and Jay is keeping a dark secret. What happens when their lives become entangled in a twisted plot?

The company is made up of emerging creatives who have worked with The Young Vic, The National Youth Theatre, Burnt Orange Theatre, The Royal Court, Theatre Peckham and Young Actors Theatre Islington. They all share a passion for developing socially relevant and inclusive theatre.

Playing Up Workshops

 

Dates

Times

Days of the week

Join us for Creative Play sessions at Elephant & Castle Community Hub!

These FREE sessions are for children aged 0 - 3 and their parents/carers.

Workshops start on Friday 14th February and will run until May. They can be delivered through Spanish as well as English. Expect lots of fun as you and your little one(s) act out scenarios and adventures which stimulate their imagination and develop their motor skills!

Please sign up here as spaces are limited! You are welcome to turn up on the day but may be turned away if there is no space so booking is advised.

Playing Up is funded by the Inspiring Elephant Community Fund and Unity Theatre Trust and spaces are intended for people who live, work or study in the Elephant & Castle Opportunity Area.

Session Times:
10am - 11am - 15 months/mobile babies - 3 years
11.30am - 12.30pm - 0 - 14 months

Please note that the space is relatively small and buggies will need to be left in a shelter just outside the room. There is no lock on the shelter and buggies are left at your own risk. The Hub is on the top floor of the building - there is a lift but it fits one buggy at a time. Our facilitators will be happy to help get children into the workshops from prams if needed, eg if you have multiples.
