The Whip Hand
Direct from the 2017 Edinburgh Festival Fringe
It's Dougie's birthday. He just turned 50 and his family are throwing him a party. But it's Dougie who has a surprise for them. A bombshell proposal.
He wants his ex-wife Arlene to back his new endeavour. He wants to serve a good cause, a global cause. He wants to make right a terrible wrong, even if it puts their daughter's future at risk. They can all sense a scam, but Dougie won't back down. He is convinced this is his only chance to do something truly glorious, but his motivation may not be as pure as it seems. As the touchpaper under his family is lit, no one escapes the fallout.
Written by Douglas Maxwell (Charlie Sonata, Promises Promises), The Whip Hand is an explosive new play about power, privilege, blood ties and our inescapable past, directed by The REP's Associate Director Tessa Walker (The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, The Quiet House, Folk).
