Lucy Bird (M12) at Edinburgh Fringe
We Need to Talk About Bobby (off EastEnders) – Lucy Bird
In 2016, I co-founded the new theatre company Paperback along with a number of other University of Warwick graduates. Now based in Birmingham, we use a vigorous process of devising, writing and discussion, to ask questions about the stories we choose to remember and the stories we make now.
More information about the company can be found on our website: www.paperbacktheatre.com
Paperback are taking our second show We Need to Talk About Bobby (off EastEnders) to the Edinburgh Fringe this summer and has been shortlisted for the National Student Drama Festival Edinburgh Award 2017.
If anyone is interested in reviewing or discussing the show please do not hesitate to contact me at lucy.jude.bird@gmail.com.
We Need to Talk About Bobby (off EastEnders) will be performing at the Edinburgh Fringe from the 14th-28th of August at 12:40pm daily at ZOO Southside (Venue 82).
Annie's thirteen and she wets the bed. After landing a huge role in a late-night television drama, she's left alone in an adult world, struggling to make sense of the things she is told to say on camera. Soon, Annie's comfortable childhood begins to fall apart. Charting the decline of a young TV actress, this daring new play explores society's uneasy fascination with child violence.
We Need to Talk About Bobby (off EastEnders), the debut play from George Attwell Gerhards, directed by Lucy Bird is a response to the depictions of “crazy child killers” in We Need to Talk About Kevin, Punk Rock - even the most recent series of Sherlock.
