Freak is currently playing its final few performances at the Theatre503 where it transferred following a hugely successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Freak is written and directed by Anna Jordan who speaks to West End Frame about its incredible journey…
Are you happy with the response to Freak? You must be so proud!
The response has been fantastic. It’s a challenging play with a lot of dark themes – it focuses on female sexual desire and behaviour and I understand that it’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but generally the response has been overwhelmingly positive. As well as the great reviews, we’ve had many tweets from both men and women saying how important they thought the show was and how much it had made them think. I don’t think as a playwright you can ask for more than that – your play making somebody think. I often eavesdrop on the post show conversation in the bar after the show and there’s always plenty of lively discussion going on around it. I try not to get involved though, I just like to drink wine and listen! I am immensely proud of everyone involved – it’s been quite a journey.
