BACON

Following a sell-out UK tour and New York Transfer, the multi-award winning play BACON comes to The Netherlands.

[English spoken - June 19th & 20th 2025 - see dutch translation below]

It's Year 10's first day back at school. Mark is new and too scared to make friends; Darren is out of control and too scary to make friends. The two of them need each other – but neither would ever admit it.

Bacon is an unflinching and unexpectedly humorous look at masculinity, sexuality and power, through the dizzying lens of youth. Winner of the Tony Craze Award and four Off-West End Awards in London for Best Director, Best Lighting Design, and Best Performance in a Play.
