Passion Fruit is a new coming-of-age comedy-drama from Dior Clarke and co-writer Stephanie Martin directed by Melina Namdar. It follows the story of Romeo, a Black, Gay, British-Jamaican boy growing up on a North London housing estate and all that comes with this upbringing. It delves into family, culture and community – embracing them, surviving them, and coming out shimmering in gold dust. Through gang violence and doomed relationships, homophobia and hedonistic sex, Romeo’s arrived at this moment: vibrant, bruised, fiercely ambitious – and ready to share a love story. Around the corner, joy awaits…
Brimming with joyful movement, brutal honesty and tender insight, Passion Fruit is supported by The PappyShow and New Diorama. The world premiere follows sold-out previews at The Glory to rapturous audience responses.
Between January – June 2022, the Theatre is also offering free pizza to every audience member post-show in partnership with Domino’s Camden.
