The Infinite Colours on The Drinks Aisle

When rival protestors are trapped inside a small-town corner shop during a night of nationalist riots, simmering tensions erupt into a volatile standoff.

Behind locked shutters, a fractured group of nationalists, counter-protestors, a conflicted police officer, a father and son, and the silent shopkeeper caught in the middle are forced into close quarters with their enemies.As the chaos outside grows louder, ideology gives way to raw confrontation, buried fears, and uncomfortable truths.

Some reach for understanding; others cling to hate.

In this claustrophobic pressure cooker, the question becomes unavoidable: can common ground be found, or are some divides too deep to cross?The Infinite Colours on The Drinks Aisle is showing at Peckham Fringe as part of Theatre Peckham’s 40th anniversary celebrations.
