Box of Tricks presents True Love Waits (Fri,Sun)
Box of Tricks presents the world première of ‘True Love Waits’ by Kenneth Emson, Evan Placey and Marcelo Dos Santos. "I can’t talk about these things with anyone else. You’re my priest." Daniel is a convicted murderer on Death Row. Alice is his neurotic girlfriend. Charlie is a 15-year-old girl from Reading. Judith, a God-fearing mother. They all write to Daniel. They all need Daniel. But will true love wait?
An explosive comic drama for three voices, ‘True Love Waits’ fuses monologue and movement to tell the story of three 'pen pals' approaching personal crises. As they write to Daniel, separate lives begin to interweave and collide, and events take a darker turn. A unique commission from three of the hottest talents from the Royal Court's Young Writers' Programme, this is a darkly comic journey through three women's lives and their obsession with a serial killer.
Box of Tricks is a new writing company committed to developing and producing the best new work around; discovering, nurturing and promoting the next generation of playwrights. We are drawn to plays that have an immediacy and relevance today: the stories that need to be told, the voices that need to be heard.
