“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.
