“I think I want you to hurt. I’m sorry but that’s what I want.”

Paul and Rebecca thought getting away to an isolated house at the foot of a mountain would save their relationship. But as the shadows grow longer, their paranoia deepens and things – or people – start going bump in the night… 

Brad Birch, winner of the Harold Pinter Commission, takes audiences on a deep dive into betrayal and forgiveness in this tense, psychological thriller which will keep you hooked until the bitter end.

This play is showing as a double bill with The River. Find out more about the BOVTS Summer Festival at the Wardrobe Theatre here.

One of my favourite parts about BOVTS is that it feels ‘homegrown’. From the set to the costume, lighting, acting and sound, every single aspect of a theatre production or film is down to the students. The location of Clifton is so serene and the School being so small everyone knows each other and it feels so personal and special. Violet Morris, BA Professional Acting Student
