Cashel is 30 and a neurotic overthinker. Fresh from a breakup, he moves in with his best friend, Honey—a lifelong bachelor who only has a thought every few days. Can these mismatched roommates survive together?
Thanks for Having Me is a sharp, comedic take on modern romance and heartbreak at the tail end of your twenties. Who is really seducing whom? Playwright and performer Keelan Kember’s previous play, February Face, enjoyed a sell-out run at the Old Red Lion and the King's Head Theatre, was nominated for a Standing Ovation Award for New Writing, and was later optioned as a TV pilot by a production company. Thanks For Having Me was on in the Main House at King’s Head Theatre, receiving high critical acclaim before its subsequent transfer to Riverside Studios.
