Description
"So we're clear
You know, right?
You know I'm not that kind of person"
Sometimes we can't find the right words. Sometimes the wrong word just slips out. Sometimes the right words become the wrong words. Sometimes that ruins everything.
When a misfiring joke turns their life upside down, B sets off on a surreal journey looking for answers. In an age when technology multiplies every mistake, can we find a way to understand each other?
A razor sharp satire about the search for a sure footing in an uncertain world from BAFTA nominated Vinay Patel. This edition was published to coincide with the premiere at Paines Plough and produced by Theatr Clwyd.

Reviews / Votes
There's a lot wrapped up in this deceptively simple little package that is performed with an engaging immediacy by David Mumeni . Patel writes with complete honesty and unforced poetry about a young man swept up in the tides of contemporary history. * The Guardian review of True Brits, 9/02/2015 *More details
