Critically acclaimed play Trade makes its Exeter premiere

Event Date: 
06/04/2023 - 7:30pm to 8:45pm
Venue: 
Exeter Pheonix

After its sell-out success at London's Omnibus Theatre, Ella Dorman-Gajic’s Trade comes to Exeter Pheonix for one exclusive night on 6th April, as part of a UK Tour. Trade explores the fate of a young woman plunged into a perilous underground world, spanning post-war Bosnia to the UK.

Trade was awarded an OffComm by the revered OFFIE Awards, and was hailed as “a thought-provoking and purpose-driven play, portraying the traditionally victimised protagonist in a more realistic light, making her relevant and sympathetic” by North West End.

LAVENDER, a new queer play by Devon writer premiers in Exeter and London

A Christian with an engagement ring and the voice of an angel. Surrounding them is fifteen years of history. The rubble of polyester thongs, dolls and skipping ropes. Devon.

Characters Lucy and Nancy are down-to-earth, despicable and completely familiar. Future uncertain, they must face up to where it all began: sharpening pencils and plucking the wings off of flies, aged seven. Conceived by Torbay-based writer Holly Fitzpatrick, this fast-...
