Hope. Love. Laughs.

Growing up is confusing.

Hope is torn between her love and her faith.

But aren't they the same thing?

Staying Faithful is about learning how to balance identity, belief and desires in adolescence and how that shapes who we become.

Chocolate Chilli is a new theatre group based in Croydon, with the aim to put women centre-stage. Research by the Guardian in 2012, in collaboration with Elizabeth Freestone of Pentabus Theatre, shows that women were badly under represented, with a persistent 2:1 male-to-female ratio*. Things are improving, but we still have a long way to go, with actresses still frequently sidelined to playing the mother or wife of the central character. Whether it be new writing or classics, we promise only ever to tell stories about interesting and provoking female characters. Bold, spicy stories everyone can get their teeth into - that's Chocolate Chilli.
