Fagbreak

22 - 23 Oct 2026

Fagbreak

Dead jobs. Dead hopes. An undercurrent of dreams and

violence undercuts Fagbreaks in a South Bermondsey trading estate.

Three young men and one girl argue, laugh and fight during a

day where nothing happens and everything changes.

During a dead summer’s day in the back of a South Bermondsey trading estate, four co-workers banter, fight and unpick their fears, hopes and dreams. How did they arrive here? Can they escape?

A new play exploring the dreams, delusion, despair and desires of four people bound together in one shift.
