The world premiere production of Dreaming and Drowning is coming to the Bush Theatre this winter.
Dreaming and Drowning is an intimate and visceral deep-dive into the boundless mind of a young Black queer man wrestling with anxiety.
This electrifying world premiere stars Tienne Simon (Grime Kids, BBC), and is written and directed by the Mustapha Matura Award-winning playwright Kwame Owusu.
Dreaming and Drowning is playing at the Bush Theatre from 29 November to 23 December 2023.
What's the story of Dreaming And Drowning?
“I had that dream again. Drowning and gasping but I’m trying not to think about it.”
Malachi’s been looking forward to a fresh start at uni for months. He’s settling in, he’s got a stack of books to read and he’s met someone new – Kojo, a musician with a megawatt smile, who’s basically perfect.
But something doesn’t feel right. He keeps having the same nightmare – sinking, crushed by the weight of the ocean – and it’s getting worse… A beast grows in the water, hungry, relentless, hunting him but always just out of sight. As the boundaries between nightmare and reality fracture, Malachi must fight harder than ever to stay afloat.
