Plays From Vault 6

This anthology comprises five of the best plays from VAULT Festival 2023, London’s leading festival of live performance

Fanboy by Joe Sellman-Leava is a love-hate letter to pop culture and nostalgia

A five-star hit at the Edinburgh Fringe, it’s the story of a thirty-something, self-confessed nerd – obsessed with Star Wars and Nintendo – asking why his generation can’t let go of their childhoods

Five Years with the White Man by Eloka Obi and Saul Boyer is a startling account of satirist ABC Merriman-Labor – the greatest Black Briton ever to have been forgotten – whose dreams of becoming the greatest writer of his generation lead him on a defiant journey from Sierra Leone to Edwardian London

Honour-Bound by Zahra Jassi is a powerful solo show about family, anti-Blackness, and what we’re willing to sacrifice for love

After Simran loses her friend to honour-based violence, she has to answer some life-changing questions

Will she and her boyfriend be able to live safely ever after?

How We Begin by Elisabeth Lewerenz is a tender exploration of love, queerness and identity

Helen and Diana are perfect for each other: they’ve both got good degrees, busy jobs and nice flats

There’s just one small problem – Diana’s got a boyfriend

I F****d You in My Spaceship by Louis Emmitt-Stern is a razor-sharp comedy-drama about sex and relationships

Two couples each invite a stranger into their homes with the hope of sparking new life

Instead, they find themselves threatened by alienation, abduction and invasion...
