Following the critically acclaimed Black Box in 2003, LeKoa returns with its sensational new play, Vent. Caught up in an atmosphere of sexual tension, paranoia and political correctness, Vent follows the lives of four students and their tutors who become entangled in the fallout of an accusation of date-rape.

Set on campus in that last refuge of the sexes – adjoining toilets - Vent examines the breakdown in communication between genders and the complex ritualisation of contemporary sexual politics.

Exhilarating yet moving, Vent is a brilliantly observed production, full of razor-sharp dialogue. Brought to you by the ground-breaking LeKoa, Vent is the snappiest, most exciting piece of new writing you will see this year.

I wrote, directed, and produced Vent on behalf of LeKoa.
