Rich Mason Productions in association with Hightide Festival Theatre present

True Brits

by Vinay Patel

A preview performance of the World Premiere at this summer's Edinburgh Festival.

"Um, I did Google it though, there were only two Asians in Team GB. Out of five hundred and forty two athletes. And one of them was called "Neil Taylor". Does that count?"

When a violent encounter leads to a whirlwind romance, young Rahul is more than willing to be caught up. But in the aftermath of 7/7, his world changes in ways he cannot control, drawing him into ever-darker places as he struggles to remain part of a British society that now distrusts him on sight.

Sweeping between the paranoid London of 2005 and the euphoric city of the 2012 Olympics, the debut play by Vinay Patel (HighTide Escalator Programme and BBC competition-winning writer) is an honest, humorous, hopeful play about wanting to love and be loved. By your crush. By your friends. By your country.

True Brits will be performing at Assembly at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe, 31st July – 25th August 2015.
