The Mad House
As part of Playbox’s commitment to supporting emerging artists, we’re delighted to present the debut production from Mind The Gap – a theatre company founded by a team of our senior members as they begin creating and producing work of their own.
Their first production, The Mad House, is a darkly comic thriller that proves appearances can be dangerously deceptive…
While on holiday, Peter and Debbie strike up an unlikely friendship with Elsa – a lusty, Trump-loving widow from Denver, Colorado. She’s less than woke, but strangely wonderful. They promise to keep in touch… because people always do, don’t they?
When Elsa unexpectedly announces she’s coming to stay a few months later, Peter and Debbie decide to look her up online. Too late, they uncover the terrifying truth about Elsa Jean Krakowski. Deadly danger has just boarded a flight to London.
How do you protect everything you love from mortal peril without seeming, well… a bit impolite?
Because guess who’s coming… to murder?
This production will take place in the Studio at the Dream Factory
