Lose Yourself (NHB Modern Plays)

Josh is the club's rising star but injury threatens to ruin everything. Nate's the veteran; he knows how to enjoy himself. Yaz and her mate Samantha are off on a night out. They know where to find the team and how to get a result. The drinks are flowing in the VIP section. A spare hotel room is booked. But at the end of the night, when things are out of control, someone is going to get hurt. Katherine Chandler's new play Lose Yourself is a fast, wild and ultimately tragic ride into the darker side of our celebrity obsessed culture. Lose Yourself premiered at Sherman Theatre, Cardiff, in May 2019.
