The narrative alternates between teenage life in the mid-2010s and the characters’ mid-twenties in the present day, tracing collective grief across friendship, growing up, and release. The amateur production includes stage and technical information, performance length, age guidance, and warnings about death themes plus flashing lights and haze.","As We Face The Sun  \nBy Kit Withington  \n6-8 March 2025  \nBridewell Theatre, London  \n@rosebrufordcollege [bruford.ac.uk](bruford.ac.uk)  \nPlay summary  \nSetting London Time present day  \nAt the Lamb Pub in West London the same group of people gather on the same date every year. To drink. To party. To honour the one they lost along the way. The characters exist between two time periods —the fizzing energy of teenagers growing up in school life in the mid-2010’s and the growing pains of their mid-twenties in the modern day. As We Face The Sun explores what collective grief looks and feels like in fierce technicolour.  \nKit Withington’s contemporary play is a bold poetic vision. No characters or lines are defined in the writing. We hope we have created a brave and effervescent interpretation that celebrates school friendships, growing up and, most vitally, letting go.  \nThis amateur production is presented by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.  \nRun time 1 hour 30 minutes with no interval  \nPlease note that this production contains themes of death. Technical warnings for flashing lightsand haze.  \nRecommended for ages 12+  \nCreative Team  \nDirector Hal Chambers  \nSet and Costume Designer Katy Roberts Lighting Designer Kyle Drakes  \nSound Designer Roddy Lynch  \nProduction Stage Manager Hester Blind ell Deputy Stage Manager Jess Verri Technical Manager Max Tate  \nLighting Programmer and Operator Owen Connolly-Stretton Crew Jas Addison, Will Wheeler, Alfie Merrifield  \nMovement Director Dorie Pinchin Voice Support Rebecca Whitbread  \nLive music arranged by Ben Cannon, E d Roffey and Mariam Pope  \nMeet the cast  \nClick on the headshots to view student’s profiles.  \nReza  \nBazarbashi  \nStan Oates  \nMeg Walls  \nBenjamin Cannon  \nMariam Pope  \nFlorence Whitaker  \nCarys Clempner  \nEd Roffey  \nHabil Yaldaz  \nJack  \nHarrison-Neale  \nLiam Stone  \n@rosebrufordcollege [bruford.ac.uk](bruford.ac.uk)  \nThank you.  \nFor industry, please contact:  \nAimée McAvoy, Special Projects Manager  \n[Aimee.McAvoy@bruford.ac.uk](Aimee.McAvoy@bruford.ac.uk)","cbCaimFzU9jSUspq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimFzU9jSUspq","pdf",3814407,7,5,"English","en",105,"# Play summary\n## Setting and timeline\n## Themes and interpretation\n## Production notes and safety information\n## Creative team and cast","[{\"question\":\"What is the central setting of As We Face The Sun?\",\"answer\":\"The play is set at the Lamb Pub in West London, where the same group gathers on the same date every year.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the play structure its timeline?\",\"answer\":\"It moves between two time periods: mid-2010s school years when the characters are teenagers and the modern day when they are in their mid-twenties.\"},{\"question\":\"What production guidance and safety warnings are included?\",\"answer\":\"The production warns that it contains themes of death and includes technical warnings for flashing lights and haze, and it is recommended for ages 12+.\"}]","As We Face The Sun -
