SCARBOROUGH to Play The Cockpit Theatre This Week

Following a successful showcase at The Courtyard Theatre, Fictive Theatre in collaboration with Artistic Producciones and the Mexican Theatre Company La Compañia Perpetua present two unique performances of Fiona Evans' acclaimed play SCARBOROUGH at the Cockpit Theatre, in London, on Saturday 5th December and Sunday 6th December at 3pm.

SCARBOROUGH follows a 15 year-old boy on a romantic weekend away with his (nearly) 30 year-old female teacher at a bed and breakfast in Scarborough. After the interval, the script is repeated word-for-word except for one difference: the genders have swapped.

Across social media and tabloid newspapers it seems every week a new student - teacher affair is uncovered. By staying away from sensationalism, SCARBOROUGH becomes an engaging play presenting the affair from a neutral point of view.

Fiona Evans' electrifying portrayal of a dangerously charged romance and its disturbing implications was the show to see at the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, winning a Fringe First Award.

This intimate performance directed by Simon Paris is set on a bed, in the round.

Young talents Ava Pickett and Charlie Tantam star in this production performing the roles of Lauren/Beth and Daz/Aiden.

SCARBOROUGH has set and costume design by Magdalena Iwanska, and lighting design by Guido Lueches.

Founded in 2014 by Ava Pickett and Simon Parism, Fictive Theatre is a company that creates and embraces brave and bold new theatre.

Artistic Producciones LTD and La Compañia Perpetua, which are about to present the UK premiere of FAUSTAFF at the Cockpit Theatre from 18th November to 6th December, are supporting this emerging theatre company with the aim of promote young talent.
