The Tinker

Outside a rural home, a blizzard rages.

Waiting out the storm, Frank and Evelyn receive an unexpected knock on their door. The man on their porch isn’t what they expected, yet the Tinker has a way with words and a talent for fixing broken things. All he asks for in return is a night’s shelter.

But he has brought something with him in his cart. Something that will cause the couple’s past and future to collide over the space of a few short hours, all under the watchful eye of the snow.

Written by exciting newcomer Olivia Foan (“unsettling, evocative and wonderfully bold” – Finborough Theatre) and Part of the Main Productions (Pleasance London Associate Company 2022-2024), THE TINKER is a twisting, unsettling tale that asks what we are willing to believe about the strangers at our door.
