Two plays from the talented and award-winning Izzy Tennyson. Grotty is a dark, savage and unflinching exploration of lesbian subculture in London. It ipremiered at Bunker Theatre, London, in May 2018. Brute, winner of the 2015 IdeasTap Underbelly Award, is a solo show based on the true story of a rather twisted, horrible schoolgirl. It had a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2015, and went on to a London run at Soho Theatre for their Soho Rising Season.

'Painfully well-observed and often very funny… Brute has nails embedded in it'

"

'A grimly funny, painfully honest look at the underbelly of lesbian life in the capital... the writing has a terse beauty and brutal humour that shocks, amuses and ultimately proves unexpectedly affecting... for all the laughter and the final optimistic note, the lasting impression left by gritty Grotty is of a haunting portrait of lonely, damaged people uncertain how to reach out. It's very impressive'

'Izzy Tennyson's play is a grimy, intriguing look at Dalston’s lesbian party scene... wildly funny'
