The critically acclaimed multi 5 Star, US Premier PAST TENTS
From multi award Winning English Writers Seth Jones and David J Keogh
When Alan’s car crashes in the middle of nowhere, he knows the bad day that started with his wife leaving him, and then finding out he isn’t the father of his little boy, can’t get any worse. Of course, it does.
After trudging through the muddy countryside for hours, he comes across a Camp Site run by a rather eccentric individual and there’s only a tiny tent and one space left to camp – in-between a doggy poo bin and a rather grandiose tent, owned by Justin. Justin is everything Alan despises… a successful, positive family man with his life completely in control. Or is he? Because things are not as they seem – as the tension between them starts to reveal both character’s true selves, with hilariously unexpected consequences.
Past Tents is a story of two desperate people at the end of their tent ropes, forced into each other’s company… will they find redemption, and can they ultimately change each other’s lives… or will they kill each other first?
Past Reviews
Reviews and Comments:
- “Perfectly pitched…Overall this is a well-acted and scripted comedy that runs smoothly has some laugh out loud lines and slapstick moments, mixed amongst some more serious and thought-provoking moments. A good piece of off west end theatre that I could easily see playing in an intimate west end venue. Excellent.”

- “’Past Tents’ is a play that deserves to tour nationwide, it is accessible but leaves you with something to discuss over a drink. It is easy to see why Keogh and Jones are award winning writers and their work demands a wider audience. An absolutely stunning piece of theatre. “
