NOT TO BE MISSED!
Kucom Theatre's April production is set during a long, hot summer on the Thamesmead Estate in Southeast London, where three teenagers edge towards adulthood. Leah has been thrown out of school and spends her days listening religiously to the music of her idol, Mama Cass. Next door lives Jamie, bright but introverted, who skips school and argues with his pub manager mother, Sandra. Next door to Jamie lives Ste, popular and good-looking, who seeks refuge with Jamie and his mother from the regular beatings inflicted by his drunken father. During one such night, Ste sleeps head to toe in the same bed as Jamie, and gradually they discover their mutual affection and love.
Deftly combining comedy with ardent drama, 'Beautiful Thing' has a script that sings - full of characters that you really care about, abounding with attitude, energy, frankness and humor, this is a tender, touching and charming play. Don't miss it!
