Step aboard a journey into British identity.

The play follows British footballer Nadia and her unnamed, unborn Baby. With meticulous attention to detail, this thought-provoking production challenges us to reflect on what it means to feel British.

Set against the frenzy of the Lionesses’ success, this multi-sensory play invites you on a journey inside the confines of a post-match train carriage. Lean in close and eavesdrop on the clashing voices and beliefs of other passengers.

Prepare for a layered audio-visual experience where internal and external pressures rise. 14% is a claustrophobic snapshot of the common and clashing identities that define and confine us.
