Tue 21 Jul – Sat 22 Aug 2026

I love you now.
I’m with you now.
I’ll do my best, moment to moment, not to betray you. Now.
That’s it. No more. Don’t make me lie to you.

Two lovers and two siblings.

How far are they prepared to go to prove their devotion? And will their love survive when subjected to the most extreme violence?

Sarah Kane was one of the most original and controversial voices in British playwriting history. Rebecca Frecknall (A Streetcar Named Desire; Cabaret) directs Kane’s masterpiece which explores the brutality of desire and asks what happens to love when there’s nothing else worth living for?
