Fagbreak

Dead jobs. Dead hopes. An undercurrent of dreams and
violence undercuts Fagbreaks in a South Bermondsey trading estate.
Three young men and one girl argue, laugh and fight during a
day where nothing happens and everything changes.

During a dead summer’s day in the back of a South Bermondsey trading estate, four co-workers banter, fight and unpick their fears, hopes and dreams. How did they arrive here? Can they escape?

A new play exploring the dreams, delusion, despair and desires of four people bound together in one shift.

Fagbreak is for an adult audience and takes place in The Cockpit auditorium.

This is the first staged performance of Fagbreak, which first had a rehearsed reading at BOLD THEATRE last October. Since then Fagbreak has been developed and reworked.

Fagbreak is the second production from RatGurl Theatre which was founded in 2026 to create in-house work centred around real stories with a flair for the extraordinary. Co-founders Purnima Rai and Ana João met at Identity Drama School in 2019.
