Double Telling

A searing revival arrives this summer... When Tia meets Katie, an unexpected friendship forms. But as one of them is drawn into the orbit of an older man, their bond is tested in ways neither of them imagined. Funny and tender, Phil Davies’ “remarkably potent” drama (The Times) exposes the devastating impact of grooming gangs - and what it takes to be believed. Brought to the stage by Double Telling (the team behind the multi-award-winning London premiere of Chloë Moss’ 'Run Sister Run'), Marlie Haco’s new production combines Davies’ scorching text with movement and an original score to shine a light on an ongoing national scandal. Firebird | Southwark Playhouse Borough | 9 July - 1 August | Tickets available now 🎟️
