Cruelty

The Better Craftsman (UK)

Bringing alive the sights and sounds of the street, this darkly comic new play follows a young insomniac as he journeys through the bright lights of the city at night. Oli roams the streets, determined to find a spectacle to gawk at, and he likes nothing more than to sit and stare. That is until it begins to stare back. As vivid as a midnight joyride, Cruelty is about the dubious pleasure we get from what we see and whether we can ever close our eyes to it.

‘Astonishingly vivid, allusive and life-enhancing’ (DailyInfo.co.uk).
