2023 – ROPE

A brilliantly tense play from Patrick Hamilton, the author of Gaslight, which was performed by Growl Theatre in 2022. 

Believing themselves to be intellectually superior to their contemporaries, two flatmates murder their friend purely to see if they can get away with it.

They then throw a cocktail party, serving food from the top of the trunk where they have hidden his body. Tension and suspicions increase as the evening wears on.
