Following the successes of Tickbox and Chatterbox, acclaimed Scottish Theatremaker Lubna Kerr presents the final chapter of her insightful trilogy, a theatrical series inspired by her own upbringing. This time co-written with her son Ihsan Kerr.
Lunchbox is a twice-award winning 5 star play from Buxton, Carnforth and Morecambe festivals. At the Edinburgh Festival Fringe it received 5 star and several 4 star reviews.
Through the nostalgic lens of playground politics, Lunchbox explores themes of identity, race, bullying and belonging, and confronts the prejudice and challenges that many young people must navigate during their formative school years. Set in a secondary school in Glasgow, this powerful solo show delves into the dynamic between two teenagers who live on the same street but experience the world very differently.
Taking on all the roles – including the juxtaposition of both Steven, a troubled Scottish boy, and Lubna, a Pakistani girl – Lubna examines the impact of bullying through the eyes of these two young people as directly influenced by their environments and upbringing.
This compelling and timely piece asks whether our paths are pre defined or can we can rewrite our own stories.
This play explores whether we’re shaped by the world around us. It’s a story of second chances. If we chose to make them, of course. Investigating how life cycles form, and how they can be broken, Lunchbox presents a deeply personal exploration of cultural identity, adolescence, and the long – lasting impact of childhood encounters.
You can catch Lunchbox as part of Dundee Fringe at Sweet @ Keiller Centre on September 13th and 14th at 7:30pm (60mins). Tickets are available through the Dundee Fringe Online Box Office.
