A new play by Timothy Jones, directed by Hannah Eidinow
“Secrets shouldn’t be hidden but when revealed they’re even more dangerous…”
Desire, adultery and forbidden love resonate in this powerful new play about the darker side of human relationships and the secrets people hide from each other.
Cast: Joanna Bending, Annabel Capper, Roger Ringrose, Adam Slynn and Jeremy Todd
Five actors bring to life writer Timothy Jones’ compelling and often disturbing account of a middle aged couple’s relationship as they holiday in the South of France. The secrets of their past lives emerge as the characters find themselves going round and round the symbolic Mulberry tree, forever seeking the truth and desiring fulfilment.
