Synposis: "The production starts out as a worthy (if slightly dull) English kitchen sink drama, The Dark Heart of Art, about a struggling artist. But then daily rewrites start arriving from the persistently absent writer. Characters are cut, new characters are introduced... everything changes from day to day. The cast battles to keep up. But instead of making the play better, the rewrites make it worse, and crazier. The Dark Heart of Art becomes a shockingly sexual pseudo-psycho drama called Banksy Ain't Gay - a masterclass in appalling modern playwriting."

Adam Riches won the Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award in 2011, Peter Bowles is best known for his role in classic BBC comedy 'To the Manor Born', Tosin Cole's television credits include Channel 4 soap 'Hollyoaks', Hatty Preston's has appeared in ITV's 'The Royals', Hannah Stokely's film credits include 'Skyfall', Charlie Cameron's London stage credits include 'Macbeth' at the National Theatre and Ben Starr has appeared in 2015 film 'Survivor'.
