“a town twenty miles from anywhere important.”

noun: flashbang

a grenade that produces a bright flash and a loud noise so as to stun or disorient people without causing serious injury; a stun grenade.

Ryan and his gang were going to be mates forever. 

Living their lives in the same cycle as everyone else in a little town 20 miles from anywhere important.

Living for the next night out. Living for the weekend.

Getting into and out of trouble.

Work. Pub. Sleep. Repeat. 

Ryan and his gang have seen it all, done it all, lived it all. The nights they wished they could remember and the mornings after they’d rather forget.

Ryan and his gang were going to be mates forever.

But then came the night when everything changed.

“Flashbang” is a critically-acclaimed, award nominated rollercoaster ride through the ties that bind five best mates together and what happens to those friends when that world is blown apart.

Transferring to Greenwich from the Lion & Unicorn Theatre, Flashbang is written by James Lewis & Directed by David Brady and brought to you by the critically-acclaimed team at Proforca Theatre Company in association with Greenwich Theatre.
