Lulla is a dizzyingly surreal journey into the dream world of a 16-year-old queer girl. This funny, scary, wild new play reached the Verity Bargate Award top 100 longlist and was awarded a Peggy Ramsay Foundation grant. It follows Flaming Theatre’s UK tour of Ben SantaMaria’s award-nominated hit show, Really Want to Hurt Me.
Marin just met the girl of her dreams. When her disapproving parents find out, she escapes them by flying out of her bedroom window into the underworld of her subconscious, where birds are gods and choices are infinite. There she faces her deepest dreams and nightmares, guided by the mysterious, gender-shifting Lady Nightshade. This poetic play for audiences aged 16+ powerfully explores the pressure to conform and the shame forced upon many young LGBTQ+ people, through Marin’s battle to define herself and ultimately embrace her emerging desires.
What will the hiring process be?
Applications with CVs will be read by the writer/producer and director. Online interviews for shortlisted designers in w/c 18 May.
