Spectacle - Wasted

In Wasted, Kae Tempest paints an unvarnished portrait of a youth shattered by the passage of time. Ted, Charlotte and Dan reunite ten years after the death of their friend Tony. This commemoration hits them like a bombshell: what has become of them since they were 15? Where have their once-glorious futures gone? The overriding feeling is that they have missed out on their dreams, mired in the pretences of everyday life. With strength and tenderness, Kae Tempest explores shattered dreams, disorientation and the desire to start afresh. Martin Jobert’s sensitive and energetic direction brings to life a raw and poetic script. A lucid and deeply human piece of theatre.
