Davey has seen something he can never forget. Anita has been forced to flee her home. Tonight, they meet for the first time… and their lives will change forever.
Philip Ridley’s modern classic was a huge success when it premiered at the Hampstead Theatre in 2001, and a West End smash in 2007. Thrilling, heartbreaking and darkly humorous by turns, it is now seen as one of the most powerful explorations of hate crime – and society’s need to crush ‘difference’ – ever written.
Starring rising talent Thomas Mahy, who made his stage debut as Heathlcliff in Wuthering Heights at Euro Theater Bonn in Germany. He will perform alongside esteemed actress Louise Jameson, well loved for her roles in Doctor Who and EastEnders, as well as many theatre credits including the National Theatre and Royal Shakespeare Company.
