VAULT Festival Evening Standard Pick

NHS therapist Luc is fine. Honest. She’s definitely not overwhelmed by meeting Owen, a new client, definitely not freaked out by what she’s started seeing, definitely doesn’t think her reality has been punctured and something else is leaking in. Luc goes for a swim and feels a hand dragging her down to the bottom of the lake…

When she surfaces, her reality is different. She’s haunted by tormented mice, shape-shifting people, and secrets she thought she’d buried.

In this breath-taking new two-hander, motion sensor tech combines with motion-responsive video design and composition to create a contemporary Through the Looking Glass world.

All performances relaxed, audiodescribed and captioned.

SURFACING is a new play by Tom Powell, 2021 Papatango Prize winner (‘A modest masterpiece’ ★★★★★ – The Stage), directed by RTST Sir Peter Hall Award 2022 winner Stephen Bailey, their first collaboration since ★★★★★, Offie-nominated Little Echoes. Performed by Rosie Gray (Barrel Organ & Olivier Award winner for The Old Bridge) and Daniel Rainford (Private Peaceful & Once Upon a Time in Nazi Occupied Tunisia).

Supported by Arts Council England and Pentabus Theatre.
