Award-winning contemporary new play BACON to open Finborough’s live season

In a production commissioned by the Finborough Theatre, the world premiere of Sophie Swithinbank’s award-winning drama Bacon opens at the Finborough Theatre for a four week limited season from 1-26 March.

Isleworth, London. It’s Year 10’s first day back at school. Mark is new and too scared to make friends. Darren is out-of-control and too scary to make friends. The two need each other, but neither of them would ever admit it.

Worlds apart, but more similar than they realise, the pair form a complex and manipulative relationship that leads them blindly into a murky and dangerous experiment…which will shape their lives for years to come.

An unashamed and unexpectedly humorous look at masculinity, sexuality and power, through a smudged and heated teenage lens.

Starring Corey Montague-Sholay as Mark and William Robinson as Darren, the piece is directed by Matthew Iliffe, with set and costume design by Natalie Johnson, lighting by Ryan Joseph Stafford, sound by Mwen, and movement and intimacy direction by Jess Tucker Boyd.

First developed at the Soho Theatre in 2018, Bacon won playwright Sophie Swithinbank Soho Theatre’s prestigious Tony Craze Award, and is also currently in development for a TV adaptation with a major production company.
