Clown, Character Comedy
Plaything
A five-year-old pageant contestant, an ex-Etonian turned delusional DJ and a mute schoolgirl whose entire personality is her ginormous rucksack. The link? Pending. But they’re all played by a girl. She’s 25 but she’s got no tits. Plaything is a masterfully crafted hour of clown and character comedy. Satirical, infantilising, absurd, this is what happens when you combine spectatorship, a youthful appearance and existential dread. With 'girl' written all over her body, this woman's work is yet to be taken seriously. Developed at Soho Theatre Labs, Plaything is an unconsciously hard-hitting product of unbridled play.
