About the show
Rodney Black: Who Cares? It's Working is a drama from Full Frontal Theatre LTD, running for 60 minutes at Nip. The play follows a controversial comedian whose joke is mistaken for a call-to-arms, leading a fan to commit a violent crime and putting the comedian in the firing line. Written by Sadie Pearson, the piece tackles cancel culture, misogyny and freedom of speech in an age of outrage. Audiences should be aware of significant content warnings including distressing themes, scenes of sexual violence and violence, and strong language. Suitable for ages 16 and over.
Why see this show?
An unflinching interrogation of where comedy ends and complicity begins. Full Frontal Theatre LTD takes cancel culture and freedom of speech seriously enough to dramatise their darkest consequences rather than just debate them. Provocative new writing for audiences willing to sit with discomfort.
