Idgy really likes Frankie. 
And Frankie really likes Idgy too. 
It should be simple, but it’s often too complicated. 

In The Room Company presents the first ever production of Running Uphill, a new play from Playwrights b4 25 nominated writer Rosie Cann, as part of the 2016 Fringe Festival.

After meeting on a friend’s student film shoot Idgy and Frankie discover the best and worst parts of it – between bread making, drunken go-karting and solar eclipses the two girls find first sparks, fireworks and falling apart. Physical comedy, clowning and colourful scenography complement honest dialogue and characters to create an experience that is playful and truthful all at once.

Playwright Rosie Cann and director Jake Brown are excited to tell a love story that just happens to feature two women. “People build each other up and tear each other apart regardless of sexuality or gender or race, and that’s what this story is about,” Cann says. “People in non­hetero relationships do not spend all of their time together talking about how non­hetero they are. Having queer people do the reverse is a failing of theatre to represent reality.”

Running Uphill is a story about the universality of love and heartbreak. Its premiere season will be during the Fringe Festival at BATS from the 26^th-29^th February 2016.
