A New Play about Taylor Swift, Instagram and Having No Money at Theatre N16 this March

Swifties is a bold new adaptation of Jean Genet's play The Maids, exploring the alienating and destructive effect that poverty, celebrity fetishism and social media can have on the lives of normal people. Swifties is written by Tom Stenton and directed by Luke Davies (The Chemsex Monologues, The HIV Monologues).

Yasmin and Nina work in an Amazon "fulfilment centre". They live in Luton, the birthplace of Britain First. And they are Taylor Swift's biggest fans. Ever. Their ultimate dream is to be a part of Tay Tay's famous 'girl squad'. But the closer they get to realising that dream, the blurrier the line between fantasy and reality becomes.

Swifties stars Isabella Niloufar and Tanya Cubric. Isabella has just been announced as the lead in Salome, directed by Yaël Farber, playing at the National Theatre through May-July 2017. Tanya recently starred in the Sky Atlantic adaptation of The Tunnel (2016).

Theatre N16 is a trailblazing theatre company, dedicated to creating a creative hub where new and existing works can be explored and pushed into new realms. Theatre N16 is proud of their commitment to the welfare of creatives, operating under an Equity Fringe Agreement. This promoting and nurturing of talent means that Theatre N16 is a bastion for development within the context of a society in which the arts are increasingly struggling to stay afloat.
