“I hate violence. It makes me cry. Always has…”


Helen and Danny keep themselves to themselves.  But the outside world comes crashing into their lives one day when Helen’s brother turns up. Covered in blood. 

One of the UK’s most electrifying writers (After The End, Osama The Hero, Love And Money), Dennis Kelly’s new play is a thrilling contemporary suspense story which takes its audience on a chilling journey into a world just outside the front door.

Paines Plough returns to Soho following the sell-out success of Roaring Trade.

‘A riveting new thriller… nail-biting’
***** Time Out

‘Roxana Silbert’s intense production… is a perfect match for the edgy dynamic of Kelly’s writing… AN UNDOUBTED HIT’

**** Evening Standard

‘Darkly comic and deeply unsettling… KELLY IS IN TOP FORM’
**** The Guardian

‘TERRIFIC… Kelly starts the tension at full blast and tightens it from there’
**** The Times

‘GRIPPING… A narrative of escalating menace and horror that would make Pinter squirm… This creepy tale builds an atmosphere that lingers long after the curtain call’
**** The Independent

‘Kelly is a serious playwright with plenty to say about the way we live now… and Roxana Silbert's beautifully-paced production features three terrifyingly persuasive performances’
**** The Scotsman
