One Way Out Tickets

Is your fate already decided or is there one way out?

Best friends Devonte, Paul, Tunde, and Salim are about to finish college. As life pulls them in different directions, an earth-shattering event forces these friends to confront the harsh realities of the world around them – how they’re seen, where they belong, and who they’re expected to become. With their brotherhood hanging in the balance, they are faced with choices that could change everything.

One Way Out is the powerful and energetic debut play by Montel Douglas – a touching coming-of-age story about identity, belonging and survival. Set in a rapidly changing South London, where youth clubs are vanishing and gentrification threatens to erase entire communities, One Way Out explores the strength of cross-cultural friendships and the legacy of young British Caribbeans navigating the fallout of the Windrush crisis. This is a story about home, brotherhood and the pursuit of something as simple as a patty.
