Miriam Battye's PANCAKE DAY To Premiere At The Tank

NOVEMBER THEATRE brings award-winning British playwright, Miriam Battye's, (un)ordinary world to life. When Matty, a stranger, enters the intimate world of Ella and Zoe, what unfolds is a night of reality TV binge watching, role play, personal confessions, and two marriage proposals. As the girls work through a big life decision, the insecurities of all three are brought to a head as they go through a transformative evening of activities.

Pancake Day is a brilliantly funny, wonderfully delicate observation of what it means to be young and confused. With dance routines and physical play, the company launches Battye's explosive dialogue off the page.
