Overview

From writer Tom Basden, Holes is a pithy and grizzly apocalyptic comedy crash landing this summer. Stranded on a desert island following a plane crash, three sparring colleagues and a teenager are the sole survivors of the BA043 air disaster. Waiting to be rescued and armed with microwave chicken chasseurs and duty-free booze, our mismatched castaways wrestle with the realisation that they might just be the all that’s left of humanity…

Award-winning writer and actor, Tom Basden’s writing credits include TV comedies Plebs, Fresh Meat and The Wrong Mans.

This play is showing as a double bill with Out of Love. Find out more about the BOVTS Summer Festival at the Wardrobe Theatre here.

Cast

It was always stressed that the contacts you make during your training are incredibly important, and your classmates are likely to end up being on set alongside you in the future. After working with a director of photography on one of the School’s short films, I was invited to work on a project with him outside of Bristol - proving that the professionals we meet via the School, may one day give us a call to action!
