“I’ve called him Mr Pandemonium. I didn’t know his name so I gave him one.”
When Jack returns home one night with a bloody face, he is forced to confront a frightening reality he thought he was immune from. His flatmate and best friend Molly thinks she knows what’s best, but Jack doesn’t want to deal with the issue head on. When he leans into a tortuous and self-destructive coping strategy, it threatens to destroy their friendship – and his relationship with boyfriend Ben.
A cutting psychological drama by debut playwright Harry McDonald. Directed by Joseph Winer, whose previous VAULT show ‘Drag Baby’ received 4 and 5 star reviews at the King’s Head Theatre in 2022.
