“12-year-old Annie has hit the big time - but she’s no idea how hard it’s going to be. After landing a huge role in a late-night TV drama, she’s left alone in an adult world, struggling to make sense of things she’s told to do and say.

​

Soon, her comfortable childhood begins to fall apart. This darkly comic psychological drama presents a gripping exposé into the life of a child actor. We Need to Talk About Bobby (off EastEnders) is a daring new play by George Attwell Gerhards which explores our society’s uneasy fascination with violent children. “

​

We Need to Talk About Bobby (off EastEnders) was first performed at the Edinburgh Fringe 2017 and later transferred to the King's Head Theatre in 2018 before touring nationally over 2019.
