    Poleroid Theatre presents PLASTIC By Kenneth Emson TOURING SPRING-SUMMER 2017 A shitty little town in Essex. A summer’s day. Amid the prefect badges and empty B&H packets, a secret lurks that will send shivers down the spine of a small community. By award-winning television and screen writer Kenneth Emson, Plastic is an extraordinary, heady mix of drama and performance poetry, a dynamic new verse play looking at the musicality in the everyday; the first moments of adulthood, the hard edge of school abuse, the creation of urban folklore and the seemingly random moments that come to define our adult lives. Today’s the day Yes it is Reebok Classic of a day today Yes. It. Is. Directed by Josh Roche (RSC/Globe/nabokov/Finborough) and produced by acclaimed, triple Off West End Theatre Award- nominated Poleroid Theatre, Plastic previewed to a packed house at Latitude Festival 2015. Plastic’s debut production starred Katie Bonna (Dirty Great Love Story), James Cooney (Bottleneck), Adam Gillen (Benidorm/Fresh Meat) and Scott Hazell (Mudlarks). ‘Top of this week’s list for all theatre-goers.’ Bargain Theatre London ‘An extraordinary piece of theatre’ Female Arts ‘Touching and beautifully written’ Postscript Journal We are now planning an extensive small-scale UK tour in Spring-Summer 2017, with support from the Mercury Theatre in Colchester and High House Production Park in Thurrock, pending an ACE application.
