Bombs Over Byker

Lucas English • Professional company

50 minutes•Clover Studio
When River's cosy affluence is shattered, he enlists two disorderly youngsters to plot increasingly riotous acts in search of a higher truth. As the threat of global war looms over Newcastle's Byker Estate, will this unlikely cohort expose the false prophets who seek to determine their fate? Written and performed by Lucas English, this dynamic solo play questions class prejudice, social conditioning and faith as it debuts at this year's Edinburgh Fringe. Lucas' 2024 play The Shadow Boxer was shortlisted for both the Leading Light and Bright Spark awards by the Scottish Theatre Awards on the Fringe.
