‘The Waiting Game’
Hampstead Theatre
July 2025
Directed by Jennifer Davis

After the conclusion of the year-long INSPIRE Programme at Hampstead Theatre, led by Roy Williams, we had the opportunity to stage a rehearsed reading of our scripts in the Hampstead Downstairs.

We had a full cast who rehearsed with director and dramaturg Jennifer Davis for an invited industry audience.

‘The Waiting Game’ follows four strangers who meet in a dialysis clinic and are forced to confront their darkest secrets when a donor kidney becomes available for only one of them.
