Other People is a dark comedy that follows a group of three final year uni students whose birthday trip is upended by the unexpected arrival of a former friend who recently wrote a negative review of one of their productions. As inhibitions lower and tensions rise, the boundaries between player and played begin to blur. Exploring themes of identity, ambition and desire, Other People examines the ways in which we all perform – on or off stage – and asks whether hell is something we create together.
