Friction Burn
  • London Fringe

One noose, two lovers and live music! Do you really know the person you are tying yourself to forever? Friction Burn is a 45-minute battle royale between S and H - a couple whose relationship is hanging on by a thread - as they get caught up in the manipulative love games they play with one another. Think if Beckett and Pinter had a love child, and that love child was a fan of 90s grunge, and that's Friction Burn. An absurd and dark comedy unafraid to look at toxic relationships and laugh. Featuring live music that underscores the farce of two people learning how to love each other - especially when 'being in love' and 'being loved' are two very different things. 'Two poignant, nuanced performances, in a magical Beckettian contemplation of life and escape. A brilliant directorial and playwright debut' - Uri Roodner This production is part of Camden Fringe. Latecomers may not be admitted. Please arrive in good time for the start. Under 18s are not permitted into the theatre for this performance. No re-admittance once the performance has commenced.

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.

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.
