Cue the music because here comes a play that feels like a club night. Bangers, written by Danusia Samal and co-produced by Cardboard Citizens and Soho theatre is a tribute to the sounds of early 00s R&B and garage. And with a DJ (Duramaney Kamara) crowned as the king of the evening, ruling each scene from behind his decks, we’re in for quite the party.
Following the lives of two apparently unconnected strangers – Aria and Clef, Bangers weaves their stories of self-discovery together seamlessly. Switching from one narrative to another, actors Samal and Darragh Hand play all the supporting characters in this production. Even if it takes a second to warm into their parts, both are scintillating, energetic performers that are stacked with natural talent.
