ANNOUNCING OUR CAST for Skin in the Game at New Wimbledon Studio Theatre, 12-19 November 2021
Skin in the Game is a darkly hilarious, irreverent look into the near-apocalyptic near-future.
The once-unimaginable has happened and it’s time for the world to be saved… by a game show host?
It’s up to the courageous Elizabeth Smuir to bring down a glitter-blazered game show host with dictatorship ambitions, the charismatic Danny McCree. But her blundered kidnapping by a troll and a bee-god called Derek galvanise her: she’s going to save the planet and stop Danny becoming a dictator.
Well… she thinks she is.
Skin in the Game is an entertaining and disturbing adventure into a not-so-distant future where climate despair is met with tasteless “bread & circuses” light entertainment and abuses of power. It has been chosen as one of three new writing plays to make its debut at the studio theatre as part of New Wimbledon’s Premiere Season.
