The Litterati
After last year's hit VAULT Festival debut with Underground, Shrapnel is back at VAULT with the newest production from writer Isla van Tricht and director Kate Tiernan.
"There’s no space for us to create anything. Don’t you see? No allowances, no opportunities. No space. So I’m asking you a question: How do you make space? Hmm? How do you make space for yourself in this world?
"The answer: You burn."
Millie lives with her girlfriend, Hattie, who works in insurance in the City. Millie wants to be a serious journalist. At VICE.
Now’s her chance – she’s got to write an investigatory piece about the Litterati, a notorious community of which little is known but rumour. When Millie agrees to spend a week with the mysterious gang her world is blown open and she collides with experiences and people she can never forget.
Pushed underground by a world that didn’t want them, the Litterati live a clandestine existence so far removed from Millie’s sheltered experience of the world. But do those who fall behind always get left behind?
The Litterati is the newest play from the critically-acclaimed playwright Isla van Tricht, writer of Underground and The Remnants: As Thyself and Threadbare, and marks her and Shrapnel Theatre’s third collaboration with director Kate Tiernan.
