Set in 1960s Manchester, England, this poignant and comic play tells the story of Jo, a shy 17-year-old chafing against the constraints of her life in a working-class slum and the demands of her selfish, irresponsible mother, Helen. Helen soon deserts her daughter for a lover, but the tenacious Jo navigates romance, heartbreak, and poverty, never losing her sense of humor and optimism. Shelagh Delaney's first play was considered controversial in its time for its racial and sexual themes, but its powerful evocation of mid-century British life has made it an enduring masterpiece.

Description
Killing My Lobster: Nothing Is Original is a collection of comedic vignettes for those who stop to read their junk mail and who never throw anything away. From sketches that toy with well-known source material (advertisements, magazines, plays, films, Craigslist entries, and more) to shenanigans inspired by personal man-made items left for dead in dumpsters and on sidewalks, Killing My Lobster: Nothing Is Original proves that it's not what you steal, it's how you use it!
"We live in a recyclable society," says Killing My Lobster: Nothing Is Original director and KML veteran Jon Wolanske. "Hip hop culture makes no bones about exposing samples. Publishers are forever in search of the next Harry Potter and Da Vinci Code knock-offs. With this production, we'll shine the light on our influences and on work that's been created before us, mining it for what its worth, and coming up with some new takes on some surprising source material. It'll be unlike any other KML show we've ever done, and wholly original in its unoriginality."
Killing My Lobster: Nothing Is Original features veteran Killing My Lobster performers:
Andy Alabran, Andrew Bancroft, Melanie Case, Tonya Glanz, Daniel Lee, Nick Olivero, and Shaye Troha. Music is scratched and sampled by SF's very own DJ Ross Hogg and sets and visuals are designed by indie filmmaker and psycho-video guru Ryan Junell.
