Characters galore!
The Chaos That Has Been And Will No Doubt Return is a compelling coming of age story that follows two best friends living in Luton post-2008 crash as they navigate their way through adolescence. We enter a world full of colourful characters, challenging family dynamics, dreams of going to university and escaping this ghost town in order to give themselves and their parents a better shot at life.
The story is led by our charismatic, charming and cheeky unnamed narrator, (Olatunji Ayofe) who drives the piece forward with vigour and precision. We watch his attempts to juggle family life, love interests, future goals, what it means to be a man or more importantly, to be on the “precipice of choice.” and how these decisions shape us.
His best friend, Lewis (Elan Butler) , a laid back dreamer, accompanies him as they run wild round Luton, finding ways to get booze, look sharp and impress the girls, especially Lakesha (Amaia Naima Aguinaga) at her birthday party. Both Elan and Amaia deliver an impressive array of adult characters throughout which allows for the much needed comedic relief on either side of our narrator’s visceral monologues.
The Chaos That Has Been And Will No Doubt Return is a jam packed treat! It offers fantastical characters, soaring stakes, beautiful friendships, a sense of belonging and an acceptance that no matter where your dreams may take you- home will always be waiting for you.
