Overspill

A poetic, explosive thriller about three young men on a night out that ends in violence.

In Bromley every Friday night, same time and place, Potts, Baron and Finch get ready for their weekly dose of booze, birds and burgers. But their night out takes a dramatic and terrifying twist when an explosion rocks the town centre, and a suspicious population points the finger at them.

'Overspill is set in Bromley, but it could be set in any town anywhere in the UK. There are hundreds of Bromleys in Britain… These are the towns that millions of us grow up in.' - Ali Taylor

Ali Taylor's play Overspill was the winner of Metamorphosis 08, a competition organised by Bromley's theatre, The Churchill. It was first performed at The Churchill in June 2008, transferring to Soho Theatre, London, in October 2008.

Note for Performers: Overspill was written for and originally performed by three men, but can equally be performed by three women, according to interpretation. It is a play about a strong friendship between three teenagers, and the hostile reaction the town has to their appearance. It is a great play for youth groups, with three strong roles for young people. Please let the Performing Rights Manager know how you've decided to cast when applying for the rights.
