The Bush Theatre announces 2023 Summer / Autumn Season
London's Bush Theatre has announced their Summer / Autumn season for 2023. The new season from Artistic director Lynette Linton features a new Bush Theatre commission, the return of two popular shows and the Edinburgh Fringe First winning hit show Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen starring Samuel Barnett. The season opens with the world premiere of AJ Yi's A Playlist for the Revolution, a new Bush commission directed by Emily Ling Williams. Running from 23 June to 5 August, the play tells the story of two young people falling in love and fighting to survive in Hong Kong amidst the largest demonstrations in the city's history. Following this, Red Pitch, a hit production written by award winner Tyrell Williams and directed by Daniel Bailey, returns to the stage. The play explores the impact of gentrification versus regeneration on London's communities, following the story of three football-obsessed teenagers. Kedar Williams-Stirling, Emeka Sesay, and Francis Lovehall will reprise their roles in the production, which won the Off West End Award for Best New Play in 2022. Red Pitch runs from 7-30 September. In addition to Red Pitch, Elephant, a critically acclaimed semi-biographical piece by Anoushka Lucas (known for her work in Oklahoma!), will also make its return to the stage. The show runs from October 14th to November 4th, directed once again by Jess Edwards. The season will also feature Samuel Barnett in Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen, which will make its first London run at the Bush Theatre following an acclaimed debut at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Written by Marcelo Dos Santos and directed by Matthew Xia, the award-winning show will play from 10 November to 23 December. About to start at the Bush Theatre is August in England, starring Lenny henry, which runs from 28 April to 10 June 2023.

Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen transfers to the Bush Theatre starring Samuel Barnett
Samuel Barnet will star in the Edinburgh Fringe First winning hit show Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen which transfers to the Bush Theatre from 10 November to 23 December 2023. After winning rave reviews at last summer’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe, extra performances were added to the sell-out run to meet popular demand for this bitingly honest comedy drama from the Olivier Award-winning producers of Fleabag, Kathy and Stella Solve A Murder! and Baby Reindeer (the Bush Theatre’s fastest selling show in history). Double Tony Award nominee and Olivier Award nominee Samuel Barnett (History Boys, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency) was named the first winner of The Stage Edinburgh Awards 2022 for his performance in the one-man play, which he will reprise at the Bush Theatre. Actors Touring Company Artistic Director Matthew Xia (Blue/ Orange, Young Vic; The Wiz, Hope Mill Theatre), who recently won an Olivier Award for Hey Duggee: The Live Theatre Show, directs this stripped back production by Marcelo Dos Santos (Lionboy, Complicité). Actor Samuel Barnett said: “I’m so excited to be returning to Feeling Afraid. . . and to be reunited with the original team from the Edinburgh run. I’ve loved previously performing at the Bush Theatre and it’s a perfect space for this story. I can’t wait to share Feeling Afraid. . . with a London audience and I’m so grateful to Francesca Moody and the Bush for giving a further life to this brilliant play.” Director Matthew Xia said: “I’m delighted to be reuniting with the phenomenal team responsible for Feeling Afraid… Marcelo Dos Santo has written a beautifully honest, hilarious but heart-wrenching character and Sam brings him to life with such vitality and humour. At the end of our sold-out, Fringe First and Stage Award winning Edinburgh run there was incredible demand for the show to be seen in London, thanks to Francesca Moody and the Bush we shall satisfy that demand!” Full creative team to be announced.
