Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons (NHB Modern Plays)

By Sam Steiner

The average person will speak 123,205,750 words in a lifetime. But what if there were a limit? Oliver and Bernadette are about to find out.

Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons imagines a world where we’re forced to say less. It’s about what we say and how we say it; about the things we can only hear in the silence; about dead cats, activism, eye contact and lemons, lemons, lemons, lemons, lemons.

Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons premiered at Warwick Arts Centre in 2015 and won three Judges’ Awards at the National Student Drama Festival, before appearing at Latitude Festival, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Camden People’s Theatre, London.

'A beautiful play about the beauty and preciousness of language… about as promising as debuts get' - Time Out

‘Takes the can opener to a typical opposites-attract romcom in order to explore wider issues of democracy and free speech - Guardian

[deana · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A brilliant two-hander with full, exciting characters in a wild and eerie landscape. It leaves just enough to the imagination, and I see this being incredibly compelling on stage! What an impressive debut from Sam Steiner.
