Jesús I. Valles' Bruntwood International Award-winning SPREAD will receive a world premiere at INTAR Theatre, New York, in association with the Royal Exchange Theatre.
At a high school in Austin, Texas, four ninth-grade boys gather at lunchtime to make ‘spread’ or ‘Texas prison brick’ from their snacks – dry ramen, hot chips, beef jerky, beans, hot water, all cooked in a bag.
Jeffrey, Andrew, Chris, and Jordan play fight, tease and try their absolute best to be friends to each other on the brink of adulthood. SPREAD offers a glimpse inside the fullness of all a ninth-grade lunchtime might contain: all the brutal, sweet ways we might try to be with one another.
SPREAD will run at INTAR Theatre, New York, from Saturday 21st February – Sunday 22nd March 2026. To find out more and book tickets, click here.
