FIT is currently touring schools and has public performances at CCA Glasgow (Oct 23-24), Drill Hall London (Nov 1-2), Unity Theatre Liverpool (Nov 8), and Contact Theatre Manchester (Nov 16-17).
FIT is a groundbreaking new play for young people uniquely commissioned by queerupnorth and the leading gay equality organisation, Stonewall.
Written and directed by acclaimed writer/director, Rikki Beadle-Blair, whose credits include Bashment (Theatre Royal Stratford East), Stonewall (BBC Films) and Metrosexuality (Channel 4), FIT has been developed to help tackle the growing problem of homophobic bullying in Britain's schools, where everything from not liking sport to wearing the wrong trainers is ‘gay'.
Tegs and Jordan are best friends, the odd couple at the centre of everyone's gossip. Class jokers Ryan and Isaac can't shut up about who's gay and what's gay - one thing's certain, it ain't them. Lee and Carmel are a pair of feisty girls with a few secrets of their own. Stuck in the hothouse atmosphere of the college mini-bus heading to a dance contest, hormones run riot and truths tumble out as the group banter and bicker their way up the M1. Where do you fit in and where do you stand out?
Snappy dialogue and pacy writing more akin to Channel 4's Skins than your average theatre-in-education show combine with energetic hip-hop dance, original music and sparky comedy to make FIT a show that's entertaining for adults and young people alike.
