Circles
Birmingham Repertory Theatre presents
CIRCLES
By Rachel De-lahay
Circling the outskirts of Birmingham on the number 11 bus, an unusual and unlikely friendship develops between two teenagers.
Meanwhile a young girl witnesses her mother dismantle a violent relationship with the man she thought she loved.
Against the backdrop of a changing city these relationships force everyone involved to re-examine all they thought they knew about love, trust and friendship. Interweaving and colliding they build to shocking conclusions.
Rachel’s De-lahay’s vivid and powerful new play boldly explores cycles of violence and what it takes to break them and is a visceral examination of the effects of such violence on a generation of young women.
Born and bred in Birmingham, Rachel is Birmingham Repertory Theatre’s Pearson Playwright in Residence. Her first play The Westbridge was produced to critical acclaim by The Royal Court in 2011 and her second play Routes will open there in September this year. Called the ‘queen of urban cool’ by The Independent, Rachel was joint winner with Roy Williams of the Alfred Fagan Award in 2010 and of the 2013 Writers Guild Award for best play.
