Paintaz
“Question: You wouldn’t change me, would you? Like, if you could change me, would you? I hear you know all about transformations.”
Party Paintaz Sip and Paint promises bottomless wine and a chance to embrace your inner artiste. Right up Marcel’s alley, he brings his good friend Teyana along, whose only objective is to drink to her heart’s content and prove she’s more than just a HR baddie. Bette, the relentlessly optimistic workshop host, is determined to make sure everyone leaves with a masterpiece, or at least a good time.
But some afternoons refuse to go according to plan...
As the familiar gives way to the inexplicable, Marcel and Teyana unexpectedly find themselves in an increasingly surreal situation that paints a very different picture from the one they were expecting.
Paintaz is an inventive comedy where the absurd and the deeply human work in tandem to explore identity, friendship and angst amongst millennial Londoners, and moments when life gives you no choice but to stop playing it safe.
“There’s something to be said here about how external influences over which people have no control continue to affect them for years or even decades.” - LondonTheatre1
