CONFETTI (Work in Progress) by Will Jackson 

Felix is uptight and unlucky in love. He's the 'mate of honour' for his best friend's wedding, and it's going to be the best day EVER… as long as there aren't any distractions… 

A queer rom-com from Attitude Magazine's "Rising Comic Star" Will Jackson. From surprise hen night to wedding reception, Confetti follows event planner Felix, as he begins a tumultuous relationship whilst keeping it a secret from the bride.

Catch this work-in-progress show ahead of its Summer tour.

Confetti was initially commissioned as a 10 minute digital short for Attenborough Arts Centre in July 2021 before having a script in hand work-in-progress show at Assembly Venues as part of Coventry City of Culture. This work in progress performance at the Old Red Lion was made possible by funding from New Vic Theatre and Arts Council England and support from New Diorama Theatre's Broadgate Space.
