Moveable Type Theatre Company are excited to bring their lunchtime theatre to the Barnfield Theatre. Black Pill and Paternity is an exploration of the seductive power of Incel culture, its violence and misogyny, and a possible way out.
Two young men meet online and find themselves hounded by their histories and tied together by a single tragic event. As they grapple with a culture that tells them to hate and resent, can they find redemption in their connection to each other?
We are extremely excited to premiere this new piece of writing by Marika Mckennell. Her work amplifies voices from the margins, bringing characters and stories from the periphery to the fore with empathy, care, and humour. She is a member of the 2023-24 BBC Drama Writers Room. Her previous work has been performed at Edinburgh Festival (her play E8 won a Fringe First), Camden People’s Theatre, the Roundhouse London and the North Wall Oxford.
Building off the legacy of our Futures Festival, Elevate festival is Exeter Northcott’s annual celebration of South-West artists and new work. Elevate is Exeter Northcott’s artist development programme designed to ensure we are doing everything we can to support South-West creatives in taking their next steps.
