Draft 23, written by Sunny Poppy, will play The Old Red Lion Theatre 5th-6th of May, 7:30pm.

‘Maybe it was on Thursday'

‘What? When was that?'

‘Not sure, it just felt familiar in my mouth'

Angel and Ray are stuck. Their flat is a mess. They can't find the main character, and the play can't end until they do. 

Set in a dreamlike flat somewhere between Purley and Croydon Draft 23, explores intimacy, gender and relationships, as Ray and Angel play endless trivial word games trying to work out who they are and what they are waiting for. The strange silhouette of the main character looms large, appearing to be the solution to all their problems. But will it? What if they never return. Through a performance of performance, Ray and Angel attempt to grasp onto someone or something that might unite them in the real, surreal and fictitious.

The cast includes Aurelia Cazorzi as Angel and Charlie Froy as Ray.

The play is written by Sunny Poppy, directed by Sunny Poppy & Charlie Froy, and designed by Miel Celeste.
