"An ingenious sparkling new dramedy"
Loose Threads is a 60-minute comedy-drama set in the cloakroom of a small London nightclub. Performed by four actors playing 21 roles, the piece unfolds as a series of sharp, interwoven vignettes, blending quick-witted humour with heartfelt sincerity.
Amid a flurry of eccentric patrons and farical encounters, the play's focus ultimately stays with the solitary cloakroom attendant: a passive observer whose seemingly peripheral role unravels into a touching story of connection, isolation, and loss
