‘The city cringes at the soft wound of our open hearts as we spill our soul onto the pavements and rise aglow into the morning.’
Subversive, humorous and authentic, ‘Rapture’ follows hard-living bar manager Tommy and polyamorous partner-and-girlfriend Kit and Rosy through their intersecting lives in contemporary East London. As events in the present bring past traumas bubbling to the surface, the bonds within this chosen family must shudder and transform if they are to survive.
A colourful vision of life in the capital’s hedonistic fast-lane, ‘Rapture’ is the critically-acclaimed debut show from Pink Sky, a collective of LGBTQIA+ artists taking an interdisciplinary approach to making queer theatre.
