A Father putting his hopes on his Daughter's future.
A couple of Dealers trying to flee the country.
A Tutor manipulating his way to normality.

Another young boy stabbed too close to home.
'Working class' means many things now. We all know the stereotypes. It's time to hear the voices behind the 'titles'. Block’d Off is a one-woman show that follows 5 characters living in the cycle of deprivation and explores what it's like to be working class in London. Based on real stories in real locations.
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.
