Presented by Dangerous To Know theatre company
Directed by Helen Parry
Christian and Shona have been cast in a tacky true crime docudrama as an abusive predator and his victim. As the two actors explore the undeniable attraction forming between them off set, they stumble into questions of male responsibility, female safety and the dangers of modern romance - and things get still more complicated once the camera starts rolling.
“Entertaining and often funny… the underlying message is clearly carried throughout, leaving nowhere to hide from it.” 4.5 stars - The Reviews Hub.
The show is an hour long, and each performance will be followed by a 45 minute post-show panel discussion.
Content warnings: Brief depictions of sexual assault, scenes of alcohol use, coarse language, references to stalking and femicide and instances of sexism.
