Trapped in a tower in a world of pink, a YouTuber princess is given a box and told never to open it because it contains all the evils of the universe. Isolated from the world, she is plagued by weird, sexual dreams of blue and the unsettling idea that perhaps there could be more....
Mixing classical references from Greek mythology and fairytales with the modern world of Instagram, pop music & #MeToo, Drink Your Pink explores the limitations of strict gender constructs, and the frustration of being confined in a box too small.
This event is a screening of the film Drink Your Pink, which was first performed as a live show as part of Camden People’s Theatre’s Calm Down, Dear festival in June 2019.
The film was developed with support from Arts Council England.
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.
