COTTON Comes to VAULT Festival

The Peaceful Defeat presents Cotton at VAULT Festival
The Peaceful Defeat make our VAULT Festival debut with Alex Benjamin's new play 'Cotton,' a dizzying, manic trip into the world of professional gaming.
"What if, right, what if instead of making our home from concrete -
What if we made it from cotton?
Feathers?
Liquorice?
What if we made it from code?"
When their team disbands after a devastating loss, three professional gamers are thrown back into a life that never made sense to them. They've got to make it in the real world - but how much of a 'real world' is there left for them?
Fresh from a five-star run at London's Camden Fringe and a stop-over in our home town of Exeter, The Peaceful Defeat are ready for our biggest performances yet at London's VAULT Festival. Powered by a propulsive jazz soundtrack and the vibrant performances of our young cast, it's a show that draws audiences into an unfamiliar corner of the modern world and then watches it fall apart.
Venue: Waterloo East Theatre, Brad St, Lambeth, London SE1 8TN
Date: 14-18th February 2018 Time: 6:05pm + 3pm Sat Matinee
Tickets: £9.50 Book tickets via www.vaultfestival.com
