“Shattering … impressive” The Guardian ★★★★
”One I won’t soon forget” Whatsonstage ★★★★

Yoga on Thursdays. Wednesday swimming. Chai in the gift shop. Glenn’s got his sword-fighting down. Ria’s befriended a deer. New arrival Kurtis is settling in well. Everything’s falling into place. But Pemfort also knows violence. 1264: A battle. 1777: A woman burns her husband alive. 1998: A suspicious death. Now the past’s catching up.

In a village where everybody knows everybody, some truths won’t stay buried. A new play by Sarah Power, directed by Ed Madden, about what we owe each other when the past demands a reckoning.

Sarah Power’s devastingly powerful and human play premiered at Soho Theatre in March 2026.
