The play follows a 26-year-old man grappling with the weight of expectation, the pull of home, and the dream of escape. Through surreal and sometimes comedic encounters, biting dialogue, and moments of aching tenderness, Drifting captures the voice of a generation navigating economic precarity, fractured identity, and the elusive promise of a better life.

Both Ardent and the venue follow current government guidelines. At present, there are no restrictions on attending indoor live events.

Although the venue does not require social distancing or mask wearing, we recommend the following:

If you are unwell or think you may have symptoms, please stay home and contact the theatre to let them know you can’t come. Contact them also if symptoms occur after you have seen the show.

Please use your own discretion whether to wear a mask when moving around the cafe/bar and in the theatre.

Should any of the actors fall ill or test positive we will do our best to find an understudy who will go on with a script in hand. If we are unable to find someone, we may have to cancel. If several cast members test positive and it’s no longer possible to continue the production we will let you know and issue a refund.
