The Scene X Camden Fringe - Steaks and Lesbians

The show follows Stevie (Ryley Pennycard) and River (Billie Billington) , two best friends living in London. Stevie is an aspiring writer and River an aspiring actor. We follow them as they navigate the first lesbian heartbreak, social media’s views on love and their own personal emotional chaos all while trying to cook the perfect steak dinner. Amity as a company aims to offer real representation on stage, we believe in listening to others experiences and offering a space for it to be seen. We want people to have the chance to share their stories and have theatre that accurately portrays them and their experiences. Steaks and Lesbians aims to show the beauty in queerness, both relationships and friendships. The writing plays on the use of stereotypes, but taking away from the stereotypes placed upon queer communities by heterosexual people, and using instead ones that we ourselves joke and play with. Written by a lesbian about lesbians, aiming to give representation in an authentic way, representing the queer community in the way we see around us, not what people think it is.We started writing this show at 2AM in our student flat, two years ago and we have worked on it ever since, blending in new experiences, new emotions and new friendships and now we are ready to share it. Inspired by the friendships we made as we navigated our adulthood and identities, the friendships we had shaped us and gave us days of laughter we will never forget. We wanted to share this and turn it into something everyone can enjoy with us. Editor/Director/Producer: Amelia C OwensHead of Technical: Charlotte PhilpotSound: Kaci JohnsonStage Manager: Izzie StevensCostume: Cara Marie Harrison
