Edinburgh Festival Fringe favorite Bacon will play Off-Broadway's SoHo Playhouse in the new year.
Written by Sophie Swithinbank and directed by Matthew Iliffe, the play will premiere in the United States as part of the 2024 International Fringe Encore Series, running for 24 performances from January 4 to January 28, 2024. January 8 will be the official opening.
Bacon explores masculinity, sexuality and power through the lens of youth friendship. When new student Mark meet the out of control Darren, they two soon form a dangerously entwined friendship that threatens to veer off course.
