Synopsis
Free Gaff, what could possibly go wrong? – Just a small gathering of friends, nothing too wild –Will Luan finally get Ali’s attention? Will Keith be with Lauren at the end of the night? Or will The Bitches of East Wall show up and wreck everything? There’s no way of avoiding some sort of drama.
Drinking games, dance-offs, break-ups, double-drops and a sink full of vomit later, and the quiet-couple-of-cans is definitely turning into a night to remember (or a night to forget).
First performed by Complex Youth Theatre following a year-long devising process led by Anthony Goulding, with Sian Ní Mhuirí. The Gaff is an immersive drama about the stronghold of teenage resistance and experimentation that materialises during a free gaff.
Exploring themes of friendship, peer relationships, and the role of alcohol and drugs in social situations, this a contemporary play for an older experienced group.
