Before It Starts 2018
Clapham on 24 - 28 Apr - 19:30


Growing up is hard and when a new girl starts school and reveals her controversial sexuality her friends have a lot to laugh about. But when the jokes turn sour and the playful banter becomes bullying the group realise they have a lot to be sorry for. Based on true events and real life stories; Naked Frank Theatre combine written accounts and verbatim text to tell a cold story about homophobia in schools in an outlandish, controversial and hilarious manner. Before It Starts is a brutal and unforgiving take on teenage life, sex, social media and friendships. Written as an educational show, there is no compromise with audience comfort zones. Put simply, if you are squeamish about staring the hard truth of teenage homophobia in the eye and laughing lavishly in its face, then this isnt the show for you. Written and performed by a predominantly gay cast, this piece is brazen, witty and unapologetic. Teenagers can be cruel and ruthless and Naked Frank Theatre have bravely gone where others have never dared to go before. After successful runs at the Camden Fringe and the Winter Theatre Festival, the show earned its five star reviews and was commended for its full frontal approach to controversial topics. Now the show is back on tour with a new lease of life. Its highly physical, relentlessly challenging and therell be even more laughter. ????? Everything is in place: enthusiasm, integrity, uncompromising message: the result is a highly effective piece of theatre. London Theatre 1 So sit back, relax and get ready for the rawest, funniest and most offensive ride of your life. Its playful, its honest, its daring, its an education for all! Oh, and remember, its based on true events and real life accounts. Yes, people actually said these things. Teenagers can be shockingly funny!
