Mars is a street-smart, enthusiastic, lyrically-saturated man on-the-edge about to propose to the girl of his dreams in present-day London. Bounty is a very quiet boy in a very loud Borough paddling through the 90s with this new politically charged Black identity swirling around him. As the worlds of Mars and Bounty collide, can they find their place in these times or will they get chewed, swallowed and digested by it? Sweet Like Chocolate Boy, by award-winning theatre-maker Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu, is a storytelling epic that melts timelines, lives, fantasy, Garage and Jungle and critiques Black British Protest in the broiling estates of London.

Steady yourself to rethink desire, and then watch Louise Orwin smash it all to pieces. Oh Yes Oh No invites you on a surreal joyride through femme sexuality and violence.

Join Louise as she interrogates identity, consent and power play. How can you reclaim your voice and your body when they have been stripped from you? And how do you navigate a landscape of hyper-sexuality and increasing sex positivity when asking for what you want can be the hardest thing?
