American Bytes Back is an exciting UK premiere of new, contemporary American writing with seven, ten minute plays that reflect the diversity of American life. In two plays by Steve Bergman, audiences can witness the tragic tale of an abandoned childhood toy in Rosie, the Teddy Bear and the expectations and excitements surrounding two recent graduates in Marvin and Julius.. the twist being that Marvin and Julius are in fact two guinea pigs. The world of rented boyfriends is also explored in Mark Harvey Levine's play The Rental where the birthday girl has just one day to enjoy her unusual gift and LA 8 AM where life can take unexpected turns. In Peter Snoad's plays - a teenager explains the environmental benefits of killing her own father in The Greening of Bridget Kelly, and My Name is Art where the title character reveals himself in all his glory. Fate by Elizabeth Horsburgh explores the possibilities of talking to strangers! These emergent US playwrights take us on a rollercoaster of emotions from love, loss and the attempt to make the world a better place to live.
