WANTED

First performance

PHOTOGRAPHY BY MINNALE_PHOTOGRAPHY & CALEB LEE

It was never meant to get to this point. Honestly, it was only ever meant to be one phone. To replace the one Erica had had nicked… and then? Then she met Jessie. After quickly forming an inseparable bond over their mutual loves (Tony Soprano and Lindsay Lohan), Erica and Jessie are on a mission to avenge a world that’s only ever left them wanting. But just because Tony Soprano gets to do what he likes… can Erica and Jessie really rationalise their actions? From the creator behind the hit show In PurSUEt, comes… Wanted.

REVIEWS

BROADWAY BABY

There is a cacophony of noise at the outset: Alabama 3’s Woke Up This Morning competing with police sirens sets the scene for the relentless pace of this production.

Rating: 4 out of 5.

LOTHIAN LIFE

WANTED is another triumph for Eleanor Higgins and her team, and I look forward to the next slice of bold queer theatre from them.

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Writer Eleanor Higgins‘ new production WANTED is a funny yet subtly challenging story that leads the audience into unexpected places and leaves important questions that demand to be considered.

Rating: 4 out of 5.

With no male actors but plenty of male characters, the sound played an integral role in this show. I love working on queer writing telling engaging and different stories.
