The Paper Smokers are joining Pests in Bournemouth on their tour with Diary of an Expat.

Diary of an Expat is a semi autobiographic political comedy about an immigrant’s journey towards full Britishness while a funny little thing called Brexit threatens the European dream of life abroad.

They will be coming to Bournemouth on Friday June 14th, performing at St Michaels Church at 7:30pm.

Paper Smokers is a collective of storytellers founded by Cecilia Gragnani after she moved to London from Italy to complete her theatre training. 

The name comes from a poem written by the Italian writer Cesare Pavese:

Our work focuses on new writing and comedy and it includes theatre, music, visual arts and film. We strongly believe in the value of international collaboration and the coming together of artists from different backgrounds as precious tools to interpret today’s world.

We focus on projects that are multilingual, transcultural and exist across borders.
