Drive
by Joe Flynn
Joe Flynn’s DRIVE is an unflinching exploration of four college friends and their coming of age, set to the sound of East London’s youth.
From adolescence on the estate to adulthood in the city, follow our unlikely frontmen as they charm their way through this boldly comic and musical retelling of Joe’s teenage experiences.
Translated via lyricism of today’s urban generation, DRIVE brings the magic of making music in your mate’s living room to the stage, letting audiences in on years of friendship.
With quiet potency, Drive candidly unpicks the codes that construct ideas of masculinity in British working-class boys.
