Back to events

Presented by The Corps Ensemble in association with The New Theatre

Ben doesn’t even like Anna that much. She doesn’t take life seriously enough. And then a couple of years go by and he’s in absolute floods and she just wishes things could be different.

This is a play about gender, the ethical dimensions of modern love, and lemon tarts.

Travesty is the debut play by Liam Williams, double Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and the ‘voice of a generation’ (Independent).
