Updated for the National Youth Theatre REP Company in 2023. When two brothers from different continents go down the street to buy a pint of milk, they lift the lid on a disunited nation; a world where everyone wants to be an individual, but no one wants to stand out from the crowd, and where respect is always demanded but rarely freely given. Agbaje’s comic and vibrant drama examining identity and heritage is the first co-production between Theatre Royal Stratford East and the National Youth Theatre. Directed with wit and energy by Monique Touko (The Clinic, Almeida Theatre) who recently won Best Director at The Stage Debut Awards 2022 for Malindadzimu at the Hampstead Theatre. <img width="2560" height="1707" width_o="2560" height_o="1707" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/59021dfc5fc43ca16fadc7b2625fa433d1886e95ccdc9914605416fc3337d55d/National-Youth-Theatre-Rep-Company-in-Gone-Too-Far-photo-by-Isha-Shah-2-scaled.jpg" data-mid="191991025" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/59021dfc5fc43ca16fadc7b2625fa433d1886e95ccdc9914605416fc3337d55d/National-Youth-Theatre-Rep-Company-in-Gone-Too-Far-photo-by-Isha-Shah-2-scaled.jpg" /> <img width="2560" height="1706" width_o="2560" height_o="1706" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9e1936cd392358721741ae7526d6081112e545c58f65ce76b076a31fd549d332/National-Youth-Theatre-Rep-Company-in-Gone-Too-Far-photo-by-Isha-Shah-scaled.jpg" data-mid="191991023" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9e1936cd392358721741ae7526d6081112e545c58f65ce76b076a31fd549d332/National-Youth-Theatre-Rep-Company-in-Gone-Too-Far-photo-by-Isha-Shah-scaled.jpg" /> https://maisienewman.net/Vixen Thu, 23 Feb 2023 12:45:01 +0000 maisie https://maisienewman.net/Vixen <img width="1800" height="1200" width_o="1800" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1025410cdfdf01f5a01091fc879015eb78c3cd5fc2e68893961f1934d2fd0bdb/VIXEN-PRODUCTION_websize-28---Credit-Camilla-Adams.jpg" data-mid="169433256" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1025410cdfdf01f5a01091fc879015eb78c3cd5fc2e68893961f1934d2fd0bdb/VIXEN-PRODUCTION_websize-28---Credit-Camilla-Adams.jpg" /> Vixen Director&nbsp; Travelling Light Theatre Company Bristol Old Vic Studio + UK tour&nbsp; Director Maisie Newman Written by Matt Grinter Design Katie Sykes Musical Director Alex Vann&nbsp; Images Camilla Adams Saffi is 11.
