TIME OUT CRITICS’ CHOICE
Following the Finborough Theatre’s recent successes with first plays by new authors, we again present a world premiere from a new author – Break Away by Liverpool author, Dameon Garnett – as part of our 25th anniversary season.
Leaving behind her home in Speke, teenager Barbie-Jean heads off to the sun, sea and sand of Torquay, accompanied by her best friend Stella and fun-loving, larger-than-life Auntie Pauline. Each wants something different from their free week’s holiday break – though boys figure high on the agenda! However, matters are complicated by an unexpected and unwanted arrival… Suddenly, not only Barbie-Jean’s future, but her whole identity is in question…
With a cast led by Brookside star Tina Malone, a bawdy new Scouse comic-drama – think Educating Rita meets Rita, Sue and Bob Too!
