⭐️Now showing: As We Face The Sun ⭐️

Showing until 26 August at Bush Theatre

Determined to remember their friend, a group of classmates commit to throwing an annual party in her honour. It’s what she would have wanted. And year after year, they stuck to the tradition. Now in their twenties, another party is about to start. The cake has arrived safely, the buffet is all set, and the aux cable is finally working – but something doesn’t feel right.

As We Face The Sun is a stark and tender story about growing up, the pleasures of friendship, why we hold onto things and how we might start to let go.

The world premiere of a new play written by Kit Withington, directed by the Bush Theatre’s Artistic Director Lynette Linton and Young Company Director Katie Greenall.
