Buzzing Presented By Bristol Old Vic Theatre School

Part of Bristol Old Vic Theatre School's New Plays in Rep 2020 season

By Anita Karla Kelly
Directed by Toby Hulse

‘She thinks she’s not watched, not seen, but she is, oh, she is, she has so many eyes on her… She’ll be my way out. When the dress is done.’

There’s a swarm, buzzing.  A buzzing of bees, of phones, of time.  A buzzing of TikTok, of energy drinks, of selfies.  A buzzing of every possibility and absolutely no future.

At the heart of the buzzing is Kay.
And all the while, watching her, is Iris, stitching a dress, a dress made of bees.
Written as part of Graeae Theatre’s Write To Play programme, Buzzing explores connections – with ourselves, with our peers, with our families, with our online community, and with strangers.

It’s said that we’re more connected than ever today, but are those connections more fragile than we could possibly imagine?
