Overview

Kae Tempest’s lyrical and explosive Wasted flows through 48-hours in the lives of three friends in their mid-20s; teacher Charlotte, city boy Ted and deadbeat Danny. Grieving their mate Tony and a carefree adolescence, the impassioned trio reunite on the 10th anniversary of Tony’s death and vow to change their lives for the better. Set to a pounding soundtrack and racing through the South London nightlife, Wasted shines a neon light on dreams, death, mistakes and making your mark.

Kae Tempest is a British spoken word artist, poet, recording artist, novelist and playwright. They won the Ted Hughes Award for poetry and have been nominated for the Mercury Prize for music. Wasted is their debut play.

This play is showing as a double bill with Dorian. Find out more about the BOVTS Summer Festival at the Wardrobe Theatre here.

One of my favourite parts about BOVTS is that it feels ‘homegrown’. From the set to the costume, lighting, acting and sound, every single aspect of a theatre production or film is down to the students. The location of Clifton is so serene and the School being so small everyone knows each other and it feels so personal and special. Violet Morris, BA Professional Acting Student
