LOVE BOMB is a comedy drama that explores the perils of being a hopeless romantic and perpetually single, while everyone around you is seamlessly able to find love. This is a play about love in all its forms - and how it sustains us, challenges us, and moves us.
This world premiere is written by award-winning writer Benjamin Salmon (Blowhole, Soho Theatre) and co-directed by JMK finalist Masha Kevinovna (Artistic Director of NYT Associate Company OPIA Collective) and Kyley Winfield, who is a graduate of Playing Up and Head of Accredited Programmes at National Youth Theatre. The play stars exciting new talent from the NYT Playing Up Company in their final performance together, before the next stage of their creative journeys.
LOVE BOMB marks the final production of this Level 3 Access to Higher Education Diploma in Theatre Arts accredited by and delivered in partnership with The JGA Group. Previously writers on Playing Up’s final production include: Zawe Ashton (Character Breakdown), Miriam Battye (Succession), and Sophie Ellerby (Lit.)
