Capturing the electrifying moment when the beat drops, and mixing original live music with bold new writing, Middle Child set fire to audience expectations of what a night at the theatre can be.
With the promise of fresh excitement just a swipe away, is Kat’s long-term lover really her lifelong dream? One Life Stand is a late-night search for intimacy across a city obsessed with sex and screens, exposing the loneliness often found in modern relationships. Will Kat and Kit stay together, or will the lure of sex elsewhere be too strong?
It’s writer Eve Nicol’s first professional commission and the latest production from the company behind All We Ever Wanted Was Everything, which sold out the Roundabout at the Fringe in 2017 and picked up three awards, including The Stage Excellence Award for Marc Graham’s lead performance.
One Life Standwill be performed at the The North Wall in Oxford from October 8 to 9 at 8pm.
The production stars Tanya Loretta Dee (Boots, Offside) as Kat, Edward Cole (Ten Storey Love Song) as Kit and Anna Mitchelson (Weekend Rockstars) as Momo, who will all perform original music written by James Frewer and Honeyblood throughout the show.
