Cuddles is a new play from the creative team that presented The Sluts Of Sutton Drive. The play was was created in the wake of the London riots and is a damning look at how society teaches us that what we consumes dictates our identity.This sharp and bleakly funny exploration of the co-dependent relationship between sisters Tabby and Eve is also a consideration of the ways in which our parenting choices directly shape the world of tomorrow and is re-staged amidst a rise in food banks, personal debt, the cost of living and continued austerity measures. Following the national tour, Cuddles will be presented for a month in June as part of New York's Brits off Broadway festival.
Teenage vampire Eve has never known what sunlight is. Everything the 13-year-old knows about the world is derived from what her sister Tabby has told her. She has never left her darkened room and has just one living, breathing human to cuddle. She lives in a world crammed with story book characters. In Eve’s world Harry Potter, Bilbo Baggins and the cast of Dante’s Inferno are real; where princes with adjectives instead of names seduce beautiful princesses against the odds. Eve does everything a good little vampire girl should, including drinking her (human) sister’s blood. But one day, Tabby tires of opening her veins and, in a breath, Eve’s whole world changes.
Playwright Joseph Wilde said: “For me, what’s most unusual about the play is stylistic approach. There’s not much else on stage that seems to be combining supernatural horror, fairytales, dark comedy, and naturalistic domestic drama. It’s a play about love, sex and control and the only man in it is invisible and silent."
Cuddles features Carla Langley as Eve and Rendah Heywood as Tabby. The play is directed by Rebecca Atkinson-Lord, designed by James Turner, with lighting by Pablo Baz and Sound by Edward Lewis.
