### *Shook* by Samuel Bailey to run at London's Trafalgar Studios this April! After a successful world premiere at [**London's Southwark Playhouse**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/299/southwark-playhouse.aspx) that earned the 2019 Papatango New Writing Prize and [**seven Off West End Stage Award nominations**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/news/finalists-announced-for-2020-off-west-end-awards), ***Shook*** is set to make its way to London's West End for a strictly limited, one-month run at [**Trafalgar Studios**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/tickets/trafalgar-studios). ### What is *Shook The Play* about? *Set in a young offender's institution, three inmates, who also just so happen to be young fathers, are signed up for a class that is meant to teach them how to be good parents. As they learn how to burp a baby and change its nappy, they face their own childhoods head-on and wonder whether their incarcerations will affect their abilities to be good dads, regardless of whether they attend the Daddy 101 class or not.* *[**Shook The Play**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/play/4440/shook-tickets.aspx)* is a darkly comic yet touching and bone-chilling story that has a lot to say. You'll be left to process this thought-provoking piece long after the curtain falls. ### Who is starring in *Shook *at Trafalgar Studios?
