Work it Out is a brand-new, compelling comedy drama written by and starring award-winning writer-performer Eve Steele (Scott & Bailey, All At Sea, Fat Friends, Coronation Street), directed by Sarah Frankcom (Betty! and Hamlet (Royal Exchange Theatre), The Breach (Hampstead Theatre)), and produced by HOME.
HOME invites you to step into a fitness class as we face our fears, conquer our inner demons, and form everlasting bonds in our brand-new production Work It Out, a sharply funny drama about everything but exercise.
This moving story follows a community-based fitness class where a rag tag band of participants, all with their own issues, swallow their fear and step out of their comfort zones. Together, they work out their problems with music, exercise, and gallows humour. But amidst the sweat and camaraderie there is a simmering mix of fragile egos and impulsive behaviour that threatens to boil over at any moment.
Director Sarah Frankcom comments “I loved the world and characters of Work It Out from the moment I first read it. The play explores the roller coaster journey of recovery and celebrates the courage it takes to make personal change whilst being part of a group. I can’t wait to share it with audiences.”
Work It Out weaves a bittersweet tale of triumph, friendship, and conquering inner demons.
