Foxglove Theatre presents THE BRINK, by Brad Birch

Foxglove Theatre is a freshly developed amature theatre group based in York, consisting of producers Ione Vaughan and Ivy Magee, alongside director Nathan Butler. Our vision is to create and promote thrilling theatre that encourages audiences to engage with live performance as naturally and readily as with their favourite television and streaming platforms. Amazing effects and chilling performances are not bound solely to our screens, but can be enjoyed to the fullest live onstage as well. We believe in preserving theatre in an age of multimedia, not by binding ourselves to tradition but through adapting the stage alongside the screen. We aim to fill the blindspot of York’s theatre scene by producing thought-provoking, dark and contemporary work, beginning with our first production THE BRINK, by Brad Birch. THE BRINK, by playwright Brad Birch: History teacher Nick is a normal person, working a normal job, who lives a normal life. He is stuck in an everlasting cycle of stasis. Caught up in a downward spiral fueled by dreams and whispers of a bomb buried under the school, Nick begins to lose control. This play is about survival. A psychological thriller and dark comedy that is impossible to summarise in just one word, but if I had to… Explosive. Why THE BRINK?: Thrilling. Turbulent. Unconventional. Brad Birch’s dark comedy, THE BRINK, encapsulates everything that we want to bring to the York theatre scene. It's an unwavering dive into dark and prominent subject matter, alien to the established York stage. So if you’re a Black Mirror, Love, Death and Robots, or simply a psychological thriller fan, this is certainly the play for you! By utilising technology and SFX as additional storytellers, we invite you to celebrate the unique capabilities of contemporary theatre. Full of dark humour and unsettling time shifts, THE BRINK delivers an experience that will keep you captivated on edge of your seat. When and where? Join us for three performances from the 30th of June until the 2nd of July at Theatre 41, York. Ticket prices are £6.00 for students and £8.00 for general public admission
