WASTED
Broadway Theatre, 2023
“You know what your problem is, mate? You just sit around, expecting life to happen for you. Waiting for it all to just land in your lap…“
Ten years on from the death of their best mate, Tony -, three friends Danny, Charlotte, and Temi, now all in their late-20s are confronted by the choices they did or didn’t make.
During its sold out, unanimous four and five star run at The Brockley Jack Studio, Wasted received an Offie nomination for Best Performance Ensemble. Fast forward a year later, Wasted is now back at Catford’s Broadway Theatre! With a new perspective from Director Toby Clarke, Kae Tempest’s rapid-fire Wasted, is a play about friendship, South London’s stranglehold and the kind of dreams you’re too shit-scared to chase.
Wasted received its first performance in July 2011 at the Latitude Festival in a production by Paines Plough, Birmingham Repertory Theatre and The Roundhouse, and was subsequently revived in 2012 and 2013 as part of two Paines Plough national tours.

‘It is a masterclass of youthful self-destruction which, like the best theatre, has the power to change lives.’
