Christopher Harper and Saffron Coomber to star in DANCE, an explosive social media bullying drama

Matthew Morrison’s explosive social media bullying drama, DANCE, is set to appear as part of the King’s Head Theatre’s annual festival of new writing from 12-17 July. 

The piece made its online debut in the summer of 2020, produced by The Soho Poly – the pioneer of lunchtime theatre in the 1970s and 80s – as their first new play in over 30 years.

Directed by Charlotte Peters, DANCE follows a father and daughter’s surprising story, and features Saffron Coomber (Tracy Beaker Returns) as Kemi and Christopher Harper (Coronation Street) as Richard.

Kemi’s being bullied and it’s getting out of control. Everything her dad does to help only makes it worse. But when Kemi is humiliatingly thrust into the limelight, the pair concoct a dark revenge that might just go viral. DANCE is a captivating, funny and unpredictable story that explores the impact of social media on mental health and how online bullying impacts young people in today’s society.
