Critically acclaimed comedy Past Tents pitches up in Camberwell

Playful, outrageous and thought provoking, this critically acclaimed comedy is pitching up in Camberwell this Autumn.

Past Tents will finish off its 2023/2024 tour at the Golden Goose Theatre in Camberwell New Road on October 1.

The brain child of award-winning writers and producers David Keogh and Seth Jones, Past Tents offers a comic and cathartic exploration of mental health, grief… and tents.

When Alan, played by Mr Jones, crashes his car in the middle of nowhere, he hopes his bad day – which started with his wife leaving him – can’t get any worse. But it does.

After trudging through muddy countryside, he comes across a campsite, run by the rather eccentric Virgil, played by Mr Keegan.

With no other options and no phone signal, he has no choice but to stay.

Justin appears to be everything Alan despises – a positive family man with his life in control.

But, things are not what they seem, and the campsite tension escalates as they start to  reveal their true selves, with both hilarious and unfortunate consequences.

Supported by the leading men’s mental health charity MANUP?, Past Tents is the story of two desperate people at the end of their tent ropes, forced into each other’s company.

Mr Keogh said: “We are proud to bring the award winning Past Tents play to The Golden Goose.

“As writers and performers, we use comedy and drama to bring to life a story of how men often struggle to talk about and deal with their mental health – with often catastrophic effects.

“Past Tents gives three of those men a voice and our audience an escape into a strange, but hilariously dysfunctional, grotty campsite.

“It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before.”
