All The Little Lights, Jane Upton’s award-winning play, appears for 6 performances only at the Tristan Bates Theatre as part of the Camden Fringe 2019.
All The Little Lights is a dark, comic and urgent portrayal of child sexual exploitation told from the survivor’s perspective. The production offers an exploration of the mechanisms of abuse and the societal failure to prevent it, as well as a celebration of female friendship, youth and strength.
Lisa arrives at her 15th birthday party next to the railway tracks on the outskirts of a city, where Joanne and a new mate Amy wait for her. Only Lisa doesn’t want to be there, and it seems like Joanne has other plans. Unbeknown to Amy, Lisa and Joanne have a complicated past, and this birthday could either be their chance for reconciliation, or a dangerous trap that will take Lisa right back to the place she had escaped.
Told with original music, video projection and movement; All the Little Lights opens a door into the minds of three young women navigating relationships with abusive men.
The production stars Lucy Mabbitt, a performer from the East Midlands where the play premiered, Erin Mullen and Emily Durie.
