An empowering story about friendship, adolescence and life not going to plan.
Henry and Jake grew up with their mates in a quiet country town called Dulowl. A town where they forged friendships in bad habits and damp raves as they stumbled through adolescence looking for something to do. Then Henry moved away.
Now he’s back but there’s no enjoying a welcome-home-pint without facing up to the memories he left behind.
A compassionate, funny and deeply moving take on life in a small town.
Henry Madd was the 2023 writer in residence for Pentabus Theatre company, sponsored by the Film 4 and Peggy Ramsay bursary. Born in the West Midlands, now operating in Margate, his work champions rural voices and small-town stories.
An award-winning poet, educator, and theatre maker, Madd is a former Kent Poetry Slam Champion. He performs across the UK and internationally, headlining slams, events and festivals.
“Land Of Lost Content is a frustrated love letter to my hometown. It’s about the messiness of old friendships that should probably end but won’t because they’re the only ones who know what it was really like to grow up where you did. This show champions rural voices, it demands that people pay attention to the darker side to life in a small town whilst celebrating the beauty of it.
