Funny, poignant and playful, PLAYING LATINX follows the story of a South American actor trying to figure out how to fit into the UK theatre scene and the slow realisation that to “make it”, he will have to conform to the worst stereotypes of what being Latinx is. He moves, speaks and writes as a Latinx person should. And he starts getting hired! But, what lies behind the facade? What does his real accent sound like? Who is the adoption of the Latinx label more helpful for? How does that label interact with the white, BAME, queer labels, or even the my-RP-accent-is-actually-flawless label?

Merging spoken word poetry, stand-up comedy & music, the show explores those questions while immersing the audience through the journey of constructing a wholly new identity in a country that doesn’t quite know what to make of its Latin American community.

“Playing Latinx is both a crash course in the ridiculous simplification of a continent and its people and the perfect balm for it. High-energy show, cleverly crafted”
