Gifted and Talented by Sid Sagar
Extraordinary times demand extraordinary people. So, what makes them right? In this moment? Now?
Jack's annoyed because everyone thinks he's a nepo baby. Maya doesn't want her mum to get married to Arnold's dad. Mel's tired of being asked about inclusion and India's worried about her ISA.
When a group of young people are selected for an exciting internship, their futures look brighter. They just need to be grateful, work hard and perfect their pitches. But as personalities clash and a funding crisis deepens, boundaries begin to blur. Does the company want their talent? Or their trauma?
A funny, thrilling new play, developed with and inspired by the Stratford East Young Company, about the cost of achievement and the power of connection in a world that moves too quickly.
