About the Production:
​
‘Esther, Frankie a Shiloh don’t know each other. Their lives are very different and they don’t have any mutual friends.
​
They have something in common - sometimes they feel utterly alone.
​
This dynamic new play explores youth loneliness in London.
Filled with hope, longing and lyricism, this is an unmissable theatrical debut from a vibrant young company.’
​
Performed at The Lyric Hammersmith and The Arcola
Set Design Notes
A key part of my working practice is making sure that I align my ethics with how I make and design theatre productions. For Belong myself and Anne Langford decided to hire a set piece from Coal Theatre who had created a scaffold structure for their Fragility of X show. Using a model box Anne and I were able to discuss movement and staging, finding that this set piece worked perfectly to create a fluid space for a multitude of scenes.

Belong was created as part of the Co-Op Foundation funded Youth Loneliness Project.
