The Chaos That Has Been and Will No Doubt Return at Bristol Old Vic

Following its award-winning sold-out debut at Edinburgh Fringe, The Chaos That Has Been and Will No Doubt Return embarks on a thrilling UK tour. Set against the backdrop of a post 2008 financial crash, where Luton is gutted by austerity, this compelling production from Chalk Line Theatre tells the story of two best friends holding tight to joy in a world that is built to suffocate them. Winner of Best New Writing (Besties Awards – Fest & Skinny Magazine 2024), Best Individual Performance (Olatunji Ayofe, Theatre Weekly) and a finalist for The List Awards 2024, this powerful production is a lyrical tapestry of violence, defiance, and hope. Think Steven Berkoff’s East crossed with a grimy, anti-lyrical Under Milkwood - Lyn Gardner, The Stage.
