The Worst Possible Nice Thing

I dont mind being alone, I just dont want to become easy to forget. That feels too close to being goneIn a faded Midlands church hall, a group of friends throw a surprise party for their grieving friend Heather. What begins as Marks well-meaning attempt to lift her spirits quickly collapses into laughter, rows and secrets.Funny, tender and unflinching, this sharp new play captures the ache of small-town life: the fear of being forgotten, the mess of first love, the weight of grief, and the desperate urge to escape a place that keeps trying to shrink you. It asks how we hold onto one another when the world tries to pull us apart.Set against the final years of Thatchers Britain, a time of cassette tapes and Walkman, these young people on the cusp of adulthood confront who they are, who they love, and what kind of future they dare to claim in a town that punishes difference.With characters that feel like your own mates, come for the laughs Stay because it reminds you why we still show up for each other, even when it's hard.Its the worst possible nice thing youll see this yearPart of BokFest 2026Running time: Approximately 65 minutesLATECOMERS MAY NOT BE ADMITTED.
