Kings Summary

Kings by Oli Forsyth

These people who walk past us all day will happily send GBP10 a month to Oxfam...but you could be freezing to death right in front of them and they'll walk past you. Bess and Hannah are waiting. Sleeping rough on the streets of London they're hoping for help to arrive and for life to change, but they've been waiting for a long time.Until, that is, they meet Caz, a young woman who's not content to sit quietly, she's far more interested in taking what she needs. As Bess and Hannah get drawn further into this new way of thinking they discover a power in their position that opens up a world of change. Published to coincide with Smoke & Oakum's award-winning new production, Kings originally ran at the 2017 VAULT Festival before transferring to the New Diorama Theatre in October 2017.

Kings Reviews

It's both a compassionate political indictment of the contemporary rise in homelessness and an astute drama about perennial human desires and behaviours that persist regardless of socio-economic status...this is a compelling work with a bold political heart. -- Anna Winter, The Stage
Intense and thoughtful * London Theatre 1 *
Something very special...Forsyth is gaining a reputation as an ambitious writer * Auditorium Magazine *
A sterling example of political theatre done right * Fringe Guru *
A striking new play by an exciting new writer * The Scotsman on Happy Dave *
Moments of humour and convincing anguish hit just the right notes for a taboo topic which threatens to thoroughly depress... -- Sabrina Dougall, Camden New Journal
