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. Worlds apart, but more similar than they realise, the pair form a complex and manipulative relationship. And before they know it, they’re embarking on a dangerous experiment that will alter the course of their lives. Sophie Swithinbank’s play Bacon is an unflinching and unexpectedly humorous look at masculinity, sexuality and power, through the dizzying lens of youth. First developed on the Soho Theatre Writers’ Lab, it won the Tony Craze Award in 2018, and was first produced at the Finborough Theatre, London, in 2022, directed by Matthew Iliffe. Review Quotes “A bleak but utterly compelling drama about the end of youth… a car-crash of a story, unfolding in a playground, that’s both beautiful and devastating to watch… Swithinbank’s writing is potent, with a sucker punch of an ending.” –The Stage “Riveting… Swithinbank’s writing is razor-sharp.” –Reviews Hub “A sensitive and dramatic portrayal of insecure masculinity and power play… heart-stoppingly moving… a fascinating piece of theatre.” –British Theatre Guide “A punchy two-hander… tight and taut… a compelling, often frightening and occasionally warmly humorous ride.” –iNews About the Author Sophie Swithinbank is a playwright whose work includes: Bacon (Finborough Theatre, London, 2022; winner of Soho Theatre’s Tony Craze Award); Circle Game (Oxford School of Drama, shortlisted for the Phil Fox Award 2020); Even In Arcadia (longlisted for the Verity Bargate Award); The Fellowship (Picturedrome, University of Northampton); Where There Is Smoke (National Theatre Learning); Come Inside (Bush Theatre, London) and The Superhero (Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith).

Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World on October 12, now a national holiday in Spain as well as the name of a medical center where the pediatric patients had no outdoor space for their own playful explorations. There was, however, an underutilized rooftop at the Hospital Materno-Infantil del Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre in Madrid, and that stark expanse is what the Fundación Juegaterapia—a nonprofit that got its start supplying hospital-bound children with PlayStations—approached Moneo Brock about transforming. An imaginative, sky-high recreation area is the result.
