Quiet Violence

Choosing cheap loo roll, wearing shoes that rub, pretending you’re in love.

Squeezed between tight jeans, jenga block flats and dinosaur ham, a young woman is making bad decisions and an old man is eating too much cheese. They’re sharing biscuits on an inflatable sofa, something has to pop.

Fast, physical and full of anarchic poetry, shards of life collide in this powerful story of punishment and rescue written and performed by Sophie Rose.

"Bold, brave and very special" - Polarbear

"Evocative, unflinching and very funny" - James Grieve, Paines Plough
