Love and Money
  • Brighton Fringe

Dennis Kelly is one of the UK's most extraordinary and original writers working today.Savagely funny with a dark narrative running through it. The play is told backwards and we see the unravelling of the main characters Jess and David in reverse order. It's a world of easy credit and designer goods " What could possibly go wrong?Jess is feeling alone and seems unable to fill the void except by shopping. She loves David and believes that if she has a job and a house and the right shoes then happiness can be bought " but at what price?David wants to buy a car he cant afford because he thinks he deserves it and conducts an illicit office romance by email. He has love at his fingertips but a shocking admission unravels his relationship piece by piece. A clash between materialism and idealism. Hope vs the horror of spiralling debts. Told with shocking and irreverent humour..A multimedia production.Dennis Kelly is an internationally acclaimed writer with his plays performed in over 30 countries. Plays include: DNA (National Theatre 2008), The Gods Weep (Royal Shakespeare Co. 2010) and the book for Matilda the Musical. His recent 2021 British comedy-drama Together for BBC starred James McAvoy and Sharon Horgan.Featuring Paul Moriarty from the original London cast! Along with Amy Kidd, Jack Kristiansen, Nathan Ariss, Sarah Mann & Peta TaylorWarning: contains explicit language, dark humour and scenes of a shocking nature.The Lantern Theatre, Rock Place, Kemptown,

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.
