The Play

Dishes in the Fridge actors on a rehearsal

You get older. You tune out of causes that matter to you. Is it growth, or is it just hypocrisy?

Mark, once a left-wing activist, got betrayed by his girlfriend Eleanor and his best friend Greg. Ten years later, settled in a middle-class life with Claire, Mark has his world upended when Eleanor and Greg reappear.

Dishes in the Fridge is an exploration of connections between our relationships, politics, and growth. Witness our protagonists navigating their loyalties and feelings, as they're forced to face the lies they tell themselves and discover whether their love can get them through.

First performed on The Cockpit's stage, Dishes in the Fridge comes to the Camden Fringe.
