Borrowed time... A feeling most of us have experienced when a relationship is coming to an end, right? The feeling that things will never quite be what they were and you are just waiting for someone to pull the trigger. But what happens when two people are holding the gun and no one fires?Jess and Mia have been dating for almost a year but their relationship has begun to turn sour. This rollercoaster of toxicity hits full speed when lust and revenge are thrown onto the tracks by the pairs' wandering eyes. Both of them know this can't last forever, and both have made mistakes, but you get to decide who's the real villain.'F*ck You!' explores a toxic, dysfunctional relationship which revolves around Mia and Jess' day to day life as things go from bad to worse. The love they once felt for each other is replaced by a passive aggressive atmosphere and ongoing conflict. Witness their relationship's last few precious moments be snatched away as they rapidly lose love, interest and care for each other. Bradford and Hunnam Studios (BH STUDIOS) have created a naturalistic theatrical short play which fuses elements of dark comedy to juggle some sensitive topics regarding dysfunctional relationships, drug abuse and manipulation. The journey of this performance began last year and has bloomed over the past 18 months into this hour-long show. The piece is inspired by the show and television series 'Fleabag' by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the British television series 'Skins' written by Bryan Elsley and Jamie Brittain , British television sitcom and play 'Chewing Gum' by Michaela Coel. BH STUDIOS was also inspired by the following plays: 'That Face' by Polly Stenham, 'Lungs' by Duncan Macmillan and 'After The End' by Dennis Kelly.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
