Trafalgar Theatre (Formally Trafalgar Studios 2

Three misfit teenagers are brought together by a sex scandal in their school with nobody taking them seriously until they speak out with hilarious consequences.

Featuring Douglas Booth (Riot Club, Noah) and Tony Revolori (The Grand Budapest Hotel and coming soon Spiderman:Homecoming), Patsy Ferran (Treasure Island, As You Like It) and Charlotte Lucas (Red Velvet, Posh)

Presented by Defibrillator, Tom Attenborough directs this fiercely funny play by Stephen Karam, the Tony Award winning writer of The Humans.

Living in a social media minefield, where peers are judgmental and adults are dictatorial and condescending, Howie, Solomon and Diwata grapple with homophobia, online privacy and how to get the lead in the school play!

BWW Review: SPEECH & DEBATE, Trafalgar Studios
by Marianka Swain - February 27, 2017


The misfits shall inherit the earth. This enjoyably offbeat play from Stephen Karam (whose The Humans won the Tony for Best Play last year) opened Off-Broadway a decade ago, but the arrival of a film adaptation in April is a decent indicator that its portrait of adolescent isolation and sexual hypocrisy is still pertinent.
