'So you know how on the news these days there's just this endless stream of horrendous shit going down, like every single night? Suicide bombs, mass shootings, genocides, drone strikes, school massacres â it's like the end of the world or something... And you're kind of like â "Could I even cope if that stuff happened to me?"' Six young people are caught in the aftermath of a terrorist attack in the heart of London. By turns terrifying, inspiring, brutal, heartbreaking and hilarious, BU21 is verbatim theatre from the very near future. Stuart Slade's play comprises six interlinking monologues. It premiered at Theatre503, London, in 2016, in a co-production with Kuleshov, before transferring to the Trafalgar Studios, London, in January 2017. 'The real star of this show is Stuart Slade's script. It's not just the pace that runs relentlessly across the 90 minutes all-through, but his ear for how people speak, their lexicons and their rhythms. An Alan Bennett for the Millennial Generation is a big label to put on a young playwright, but Slade is building a corpus of work to justify it... superb work' - BroadwayWorld.com âIntelligent, questioning and very funnyâ - The Stage 'What a daring feat of writing this isâ¦ hauntingly credible, shudderingly soâ¦ captures the internal conflict of global terror: the sense that it was somehow deserved, the pull to be part of something, the impulse to laugh and to cry' - WhatsOnStage 'Strikingly real, shocking and even heartbreaking at timesâ¦ the dialogue is snappy and at some points surprisingly funny despite the tragic subject matterâ¦ a haunting piece that in the light of current events, will stay with the audience' - The Upcoming 'Around two-thirds of the way through I realised Iâd become so caught up that Iâd forgotten BU21 has not actually happenedâ¦ Sladeâs fresh, intelligent writing is full of life and action'- West End Wilma Less
