About the show

How far would you go for your friends? 

At university, Cass gets pulled into an eccentric clique with a clandestine extra-curricular hobby. Soon, she’s swapping drinking games for black markets, organised crime, and a heist at Kew Gardens that would give Ocean’s Eleven a run for its money.  

Starring LAMDA’s Musical Theatre ensemble, written by Rachel Bellman and Josh Bird, and featuring an infectious, Britpop-inspired score, Game Theory is a darkly funny, coming-of-age thriller like no other.  

Prepare for a high-octane ride through friendship, betrayal and the secret underworld of endangered flower theft. 

LAMDA at the Fringe
