    A woman who can’t get enough
    Of gummies
    Of wet dreams
    Of herself.

    Three women, three writers, three insatiable appetites.

    CONSUMED is a titillating queer drama that creeps into the unsettling corners of the female experience where the boundaries between body and mind start to blur. In the fevers of addiction, lucid dreams and self-cannibalism, these women are consumed by strange sounds, visions and desires. Time, space and identity warp around them. Are these intrusive fever dreams bringing them closer to their true selves ... or are they actually in danger of losing themselves forever?

    In three short plays from queer collective Dreambite, writers Katrina Bennett, Lydia Sabatini and Clare Stenning come together to examine the complexity of existing in a female body today.

     

    "“This play is stunning, beautifully written and incredibly performed.”"
    Audience review for Clare Stenning’s previous play ‘Vacillate’ at King’s Head Theatre
    "“an extraordinarily powerful script [...] Sabatini clearly knows her subject and pulls off a remarkable trick of scratching the surface of a taboo subject whilst at the same time plumbing the depths of that same subject.”"
    LondonTheatre1 on Lydia Sabatini’s previous play ‘The Light Trail’ at The Hope Theatre
    "“I love the mess and the heart and the courage and the queer of it. It rolled around my brain for hours afterwards.”"
    Sean Linnen, Theatre Director, on Katrina Bennett’s previous play ‘Choose Your Fighter’ at Camden People’s Theatre

    "Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
