Loving You, It's Complicated - the Show

Being young is not easy. Being young and in abusive friendships or romantic relationships can be even harder, especially when the abuser is a friend in a similar age group. This is a film of the theatre performance, supported by the Arts Council and the Grocers' Company Charity, which took place at Theatre Peckham on 21st June 2024.
Taking inspiration from a song about domestic abuse, the talented members of the Weapon of Choice Theatre Project have created a theatre experience that explores different forms of abuse and how these affect peoples' lives, families and friends. Developed entirely from improvisation sessions, the show looks at the day to day lives of a group of characters whose lives are touched by abuse, gang and knife crime, bullying, drugs, alcohol and gender.
Pan’s Weapon of Choice Theatre Project provides a creative and supportive space for young people to express themselves through theatre and the performing arts. It is made up of young actors, facilitators, music artists and creatives who come together to produce original theatre, film and performance.
