After enjoying a sell out run at The Kings Head Theatre, London; Tangerines is proud to be part of Newcastle’s Fringe Festival.
Charlotte has headed off to university and she’s ready to reinvent herself. But when your whole life is in the public eye, how exactly do you do that? Eager to get stuck in, she joins Durham University’s Dance Society - where she meets Kae. The pair start dancing together but it quickly becomes clear that there's more to their relationship than
dancing...
