First look rehearsal images have been released for Park Bench written by and starring Tori Allen-Martin which reopens the Park Theatre. Â
Commissioned for this specific moment in time, it asks questions about how lockdown has changed the way we communicate and the relationships we have , and whether these changes are here to stay. Park Bench shows a knotty, complicated relationship that has over time shifted between friend to lover, from claustrophobic closeness to deafening silences. After more than a year apart and months of isolation, Liv and Theo reconnect online – only to find that the frank conversation they need have with each other is too big for the small screen. Has a year of sitting with their feelings made them any better at expressing them?
Liv and Theo used to be each other’s ride-or-die but that was back then… After more than a year of distance from their situationship, it’s time to talk – so they reconnect online. What happened to being mates? How’s his new life working out? Why did she just vanish? Will meeting up in person on ‘their’ park bench reignite an old flame or finally put out the flickering embers of feelings? Listings and ticket information can be found here.
