Fruitcake
By Dulcie Johnson and Tildy Paisner
FRUITCAKE humorously explores the lives of five friends confined together during the pandemic.
13-14 April 2025
What do you get when five girls in their 20s are trapped in a flat together during the pandemic? It might sound like the setup for a punchline, but it’s actually the premise of FRUITCAKE. For slam poetry duo May and Bea, along with their flatmates Stella, Alice, and Freya, life takes an unexpected turn when what’s supposed to be the best days of their lives ends up being spent holed up in their Bristol flat, getting to know their four walls a little too well. The play humorously depicts the idiosyncrasies that are noticed when a group of people spend all their time together and the extraordinary that is found in the ordinary conversations between friends. May and Bea yearn for their slam poems to be performed live, will you join the flatmates as members of their captive audience?
