Holy Sh!t
I’m the one who has the responsibility of moulding this child into a non-f*cked up human being…
What lengths would you go to ensure your kids have the best chance for their future?
Simone and Sam will do anything to get their daughter into the local Church of England school… even convert! Forced to contend with their best friends Juliet and Nick, the demand for the same school place turns the playground into battleground. The bonds of family, faith and friendship are stretched to breaking point as the four forty-somethings are taking sides on whether they should pay or pray.
Directed by artistic director Indhu Rubasingham, Kiln Theatre launches its new season with the world premiere of this acerbic, dark comedy from Alexis Zegerman.
