Supernova

By Rhiannon Neads

An award-nominated, sharp, funny play about falling in love with someone whilst you're falling out of love with yourself.

A girl, a boy, and an unhealthy obsession with space. On paper Tess and Harry are perfect for each other: they both try too hard at fancy dress, have prepared escape plans for the apocalypse, and would happily stay in together for 3 days straight eating take-out and watching Star Wars.

But as astrophysicists and your friends would tell you – the brighter it burns, the darker the collapse.   

Supernova is the debut play from multi award winning writer and performer Rhiannon Neads (Funny Women Comedy Writing Award Runner Up 2017). She is one half of musical comedy duo Stiff & Kitsch (Musical Comedy Award winners 2018, as heard on The Now Show, BBC Radio 4).

Supernova played a celebrated run at the Vaults Festival before playing a full ru at Omnibus, Clapham in Summer 2023
