What if you could only speak 140 words a day? How would it change how you communicate, argue, or even express love?

Sam Steiner’s internationally acclaimed romcom, "Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons" explores these very questions in a clever and deeply moving way.

Set in a world where language is gradually restricted, the play follows Bernadette and Oliver as they try to make their relationship work under a government-imposed word limit.

Every sentence counts, every pause has meaning.

In today’s world, where we’re bombarded with endless opinions online, this production makes us reflect on the true value of our words.

Starring Maxim du Toit and Jessie Diepeveen, known for their exceptional performances, this production brings new energy to the play.

As communication becomes limited, the play delves into the effects on relationships, personal expression and freedom.

Directed by Henu Baden, whose previous work includes "Every Brilliant Thing", this adaptation is both funny and thought-provoking.

It challenges us to reconsider not just how we speak, but how we connect with each other.

Since its premiere in 2015, "Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons" has been performed worldwide, with a major West End revival in 2023.

The production’s blend of humour and emotional depth makes it both entertaining and thought-provoking. Steiner’s sharp writing challenges audiences to reconsider how they communicate, not just through speech, but through action, silence and the spaces in between.
