Don't You Forget About Me

1985. Suburban Illinois. Saturday Morning. Five teenagers walk into detention. A Brain. An Athlete. A Basket Case. A Princess. A Criminal. You know the story. Except there was someone else there. Some time later, in a pub function room in the UK, the forgotten sixth student from that day is throwing a reunion. The buffets out, the boombox is ready, and any minute now - the others will walk through the door. Part motion picture homage, part existential crisis; this one-man show is a funny, heartfelt trip through teenage memories, the power of nostalgia and the things we tell ourselves to feel like we mattered, seen through the lens of the John Hughes classic that defined a decade. Don't You Forget About Me is a percussive and poignant love letter from the 2 time WhatsOnStage Award nominated Fake Escape, addressed to anyone who has ever wished their life was a little more like a movie.
