FUN AT PARTIES is a fast-moving, electric new play which crashes headfirst into Berlin’s legendary nightlife and the outsiders who keep it running. Set against the house and techno beats of the city’s famed club scene, this production explores a city whose international inhabitants live in drug-hazed denial of reality and consequence.

Through a kaleidoscopic series of scenes, the play follows the paths of four club workers whilst exploring questions of belonging, burnout, migration, and identity in a
city famous for being everyone’s playground - until the lights come up. Featuring a pulsing soundtrack provided by Berlin-based musicians, Fun at Parties is a frenetic portrait of a cultural dream that’s harder to live than it is to sell.

Berlin Open Theatre is an English-language ensemble based in Berlin, Germany, and this production features an all-female cast from the United Kingdom, Russia, the United States, and Serbia. FUN AT PARTIES marks their third theatre production, second upcoming Edinburgh Fringe tour, and first foray into new writing.
