The world premiere of Dave Florez‘s new comedy The Gift at London’s Park Theatre.
The Gift is an irreverent comedy that unashamedly dives into the murky waters of past transgressions and modern-day vengeance, all the while fully prepared to get low down and dirty in the process!
Because what should you do when someone tries to seriously upset your applecart? Should you take it in your stride? See the funny side? Or rest at nothing until the perpetrator is found and made to pay?
The Gift is written by acclaimed screenwriter and playwright Dave Florez (Embers, Experience, Afterbirth), and stars Nicholas Burns (Nathan Barley, Benidorm, Man Stroke Woman), Laura Haddock (Downton Abbey: A New Era, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Inbetweeners Movie), and Alex Price (Father Brown, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child).
The Gift is playing at Park Theatre in London from 22 January to 1 March 2025.
When Colin receives an anonymous package, he is bemused and appalled by what he finds inside.
He should just ignore it… But who would send him such a thing – and why did they put it in a cake box?
Colin immediately finds himself battling all-new levels of existential angst. He’s really not built for this sort of scrutiny, and his instinctive response is to trawl through his entire life – turning everything over – convinced that he can channel Poirot and unmask the offending sender. But as his sister Lisa and her husband Brian desperately scramble to save him from heading down this particularly murky rabbit-hole, it isn’t long before Colin’s list of possible suspects has gotten way out of control and he’s ready to do whatever it takes to smoke the culprit out.
