Liam Williams' TRAVESTY Makes London Premiere at New Diorama

Following a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, TRAVESTY, the debut play by Liam Williams, will make its premiere London run at New Diorama Theatre next week.

Ben doesn't even like Anna that much. She doesn't take life seriously enough. And then a couple of years go by and he's in absolute floods and she just wishes things could be different.

This is a play about gender, the ethical dimensions of modern love, and a mandatory sillier third theme to make the thing seem less serious, in this case lemon tart.

Travesty, in its portrayal of a couple of young, slightly lost, (more or less) middle-class people who meet, start having sex and then don't so much fall in love as cautiously negotiate their way into it, sheds light on our assumptions about gender and the hidden inequalities in romantic relationships between men and women. This is a funny, honest, unflinching look at modern relationships.

Travesty is directed by Emily Burns. The cast is Lydia Larson (Ben) and Pierro Niel-Mee (Anna).

Travesty will form part of a double-header at New Diorama Theatre with Breach Theatre's Fringe First-winning Tank, which runs at 7pm, Sep 6-10
