Ascension

In 1924 two young men called Leopold and Loeb murdered a 14 year old to demonstrate their power, intelligence and superiority, it was one of the first recorded cases of a thrill kill. Now in 2015 another two young men are following the same terrifying path. Gay couple Nathan and Richard have an unconventional relationship, one of them is a dominant, a power seeking bully who believes he is above the common man and that they exist only to satisfy him, the other his submissive who will do anything he is told.

The relationship however takes a drastic and deadly turn when Nathan reveals that his lust and craving for domination goes much deeper and the only way he feels he can live is if he lets the beast out of the cage, no matter who he has to hurt in order to feel alive. Teaching Richard the art of power and murder, the 2 begin a terrifying descent in to chaos, sex and violence, but will Richard be able to go through with the ultimate Thrill Kill?

From award winning Vertigo Theatre Productions (Last Dance, Porno Chic, Watching Goldfish Suffocate, Mysterious Skin etc) who were recently nominated for three MTA awards, and the resident award winning writers Craig Hepworth and Adele Stanhope, Ascension is a brutal and uncompromising look in to the minds of a sociopath and psychopath, highly stylised, controversial and an exciting jolt to what we know theatre to be.
