Desperate Times

Meet Lucky, a bored and lonely supply teacher with a compulsion for petty theft. She feels invincible, until she spins a lie too big to outrun. As she scrambles to keep up the performance, the line between reality and imagination blurs, pulling the audience into her chaotic world. But how long can Lucky keep up the act?

From the makers of the award-winning show Dugsi Dayz, Side eYe returns with Desperate Times. Sharper and bolder than ever, a sell-out hit and fresh from a UK tour, by emerging writer Amal Abdi.

There will be a short 15 minute Q&A following each performance.
