We recently commissioned 6 writers to create short, rapid response plays about the urgent political issues of today, and out of this, our Burn It Down series was born. These 6 short plays were rehearsed and performed in a single day, and we are thrilled to share a live audio recording of those performances. These plays are available to listen to, exclusively on the Stratford East Podcast until 16 August.

The year is unknown. The players are nameless. Money is king. Being picked is God.

Four Black femmes have made it to the last round of the game, everything is at stake yet nobody is eating.

yummy examines the relationship between diet culture, fatphobia, anti-Blackness, self-harm, class and misogyny.

yummy contains strong language and explores fatphobia, eating disorders and racism.
