“Like mushrooms babies grow in rubbish. They construct themselves from rotting leaves, coke cans, syringes and empty packets of monster munch and wait for their parents to find them. I know this to be the truth. Because I found one.”

An odyssey of love and loss, pain and imagination. Debris is an unreal journey through two disturbed minds. Enter the dark and chaotic world of orphaned teenagers Michael and Michelle. They are desperate to piece together their story; work out where they came from and find hope and meaning amongst life’s debris.

Openworks Theatre in association with Look Left Look Right present Debris by internationally acclaimed playwright Dennis Kelly (Tony award-wining Matilda; Channel 4′s Utopia) marking the ten year anniversary of this deeply funny, dark and ground-breaking play.

"Under some highly imaginative direction from Abigail Graham, both actors impressively embrace their challenging roles, delivering long and often complicated speeches with just the right amount of weird, unsettling panache."
★★★★ Helen Macdonald for Whats on Stage

"There is underlying heart and beautiful comic timing, and it is an acutely funny play. What is especially great about this production is how well the various elements fit together and complement each other, including the chemistry between the actors and the pleasingly anarchic staging."
★★★★★ Female Arts
