Shadows On The Wall

A ruler reflects upon his rise to power, whilst his aides conspire to take it from him: trust is broken, friendships are tested and the truth left butchered. Power comes at a price, but who is willing to pay it?

Shadows on the Wall is a story of power struggles, both political and personal: the effects that power can have on a person, their ideals and their relationships; and the lengths, means and methods we are capable of going to in order to obtain and maintain power over others.

Told through straight drama with elements of physical theatre, the piece demonstrates the corrupting influence that power – and the desire for it – can have.
