TYPT: 13

Devised by the Company
Directed by Mojisola Adebayo

Overview

Sweet Taboo is a fast and playful, rude and irreverent show that re-writes the old sex, gender and race rules direct from the bodies, minds and souls of some of London's freshest new performers. The show is freshly squeezed from forbidden fruits, giving you a taste of the sweetness in the taboo.

Infused with flavoursome music, dance, theatre, spoken word and comedy, Sweet Taboo is sure to be this summer's guilty pleasure.

TYPT:13 takes a look and a laugh at the fears around who we are and how we love.

" will never look at heels the same way ever again...or any of those sweet taboos! Wonderful energy, vibrant young performers taking us to places I never knew I wanted to go! I laughed and laughed - thank you for an evening of taboo!"
Audience member, Sweet Taboo

Suitable for 16+
Supported by Idlewild Trust and the Royal Victoria Hall Foundation

Sweet Taboo - TYPT:13 - Dating
"So refreshing to see obvious, tired stereotypes side-stepped with such panache. A great showcase for young talented actors without sacrificing content or quality. Well done, TYPT does it again."
