The Passion

​

The Passion is a captivating and dynamic piece of new writing about the  complex and challenging intimacies of a relationship, and what it means to reveal the truth. Set in a student flat in Cambridge, the play follows the reconciliation of Dan and Tony, a former university couple, over a single afternoon during Freshers Week. However, when it is revealed that Dan’s true reasons for reuniting concern something painful and difficult which happened between them, the afternoon soon becomes a heated discussion and an even more troubling trip down memory lane, dealing with self-deception, and the realities of assault. The Passion is an crucial and thought-provoking play about what may go unsaid in a relationship, and the implications we make of other people.
