Photo Flash: First Look at ALKALINE at Park Theatre

pluck. productions in association with Park Theatre are proud to present the world premiere of Alkaline by Stephanie Martin, which is set to be performed at Park Theatre from 10th July - 4th August 2018. Alkaline is a play about faith, friendship and fear, but at its heart a story about female friendship, shining a light on painful endings and new beginnings. The play also explores ideas surrounding British identity and who chooses to define it, questioning whether we dare to be different in today's society. Alkaline follows pluck. productions' most recent production,Birthday Suit, which played to critical acclaim and was nominated for three Off West-End Awards.

Alkaline is directed by Sarah Meadows, and stars Claire Cartwright, Nitin Kundra, Reena Lalbihari, Alan Mahon and Ej Martin.

Sophie and Sarah have been best friends forever. Sophie is newly engaged to her fiancé Nick and wants to celebrate. Sarah also has a new fiancé, Ali, and some more big news - she has recently converted to Islam.

One hot summer evening the two couples have a get together. Sophie is desperate to meet Ali and even more desperate to rescue her drifting friendship with Sarah. Sophie also wants to ask Sarah if she'll take off her hijab for Sophie's wedding - a headscarf 'just won't quite go' with the other bridesmaids, and Sophie likes things to match. It's all going well (ish) until an uninvited guest arrives with some news that turns the evening - and the couples' lives - upside down.
