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.
Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
