After a recent sell out reading at The Old Red Lion, we have been offered the phenomenally exciting opportunity to take our new show, The F Word, to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2017 for a months run at ZOO Venues.

“The F Word”, is a comedy drama exploring the wonder of teenage friendship and youthful positivity, even when the odds are set against you. We follow the friendship of two teenagers, one of whom is dying of terminal cancer. This isn't a story about death. It’s a story about life, friendship and a funeral. Although multiple characters appear in the play, it is intended as a 2 hander, with the actor playing Tommy multi-rolling on a platform with a mic stand when needed. The characters which are multi-rolled by Tommy aims to show the importance of Tommy to Jacob, and that he has been there through all of the ups and downs of Jacob’s cancer. This is a play concentrated on their friendship and need for each other, Jacob’s cancer is simply an unfortunate addition to their lives.
