Until you live the things you're dreaming they'll stay private, behind eyelids. So let it call your name - that thing inside you screaming.
Ted, Danny and Charlotte were thirteen once, with fists full of beer, feeling godlike. But they got older and realised - this is all there is. There really isn’t more. In a city where nothing much happens except everything, the worst of us thrive, and the rest of us stride on and on through the mess, the rust, the flesh, the lust, the lies, the breath, the dust…
Kae Tempest's Wasted navigates the nostalgia and disillusionment of a generation paralysed in a fast-paced world, exploring grief and wasted potential in a fierce, poetic journey through the night. Blending spoken word with theatre, Tempest ultimately asks whether it’s ever too late to change, and what it means to live fully before time runs out.
This production is suitable for ages 16 and over.
