Soho Rising Festival presents

Flicker

By Gabriella Foley Tue 18 – Wed 19 Feb 25 60 minutes
Struggling to lock the door on her disturbing intrusive thoughts, Jo’s living room is transformed into a dark farce.
‘Forget necessary viewing, this is essential’
★★★★★ Three Weeks

Jo’s always had intrusive thoughts about her sexuality, but when Anna enters her life they start to feel alarmingly real. But if Jo wants to kiss Anna, does that mean she also wants to punch birds and fuck her dad?

After a week of self destruction and a (literal) shit show of a shag; Jo is trapped, desperately doing anything she can to stop the thoughts from destroying her life. But will they be the reason she has to give up on love?

Back after its multi award nominated run at Edinburgh Fringe, Flicker is a ‘painfully funny’ (Scotsman) sex-farce exploring how Pure OCD can distort your sense of reality and identity. Made in consultation with OCD UK and originally produced by HFH productions and Bethany Cooper Productions.

Make it a big night out!
Do a Soho Rising double bill with Alfie Packham at 8:30pm.
