The Spiral Path

By Andrew Craig Sharpe

Directed by Kat Rogers

Mad Stallion Productions, in collaboration with KatAlyst Productions, proudly present The Spiral Path, written by Andrew Craig Sharpe.

Five characters, bereaved, betrayed, and befuddled by random acts of cruelty. Five interwoven tragedies cut together, a deeply personal examination of life, love and loss.

Off the back of a very well received run at The Maltings Theatre, St Albans; KatAlyst & Mad Stallion Productions are delighted to bring this thought-provoking piece of new writing to a London audience at The White Bear Theatre.

Inspired by the tragic number of cyclists killed in London every year, The Spiral Path weaves a suite of hilariously dysfunctional narratives, a family in chaos, a best friend betrayed, against a backdrop of deep and lasting grief of a bereavement, and the brutal repression of sexual identity.

“Beautifully written, the dialogue flows easily with some gentle humour to balance the big issues it tackles, and while it demonstrates anguish, despair and different ways of coping with grief, it never becomes maudlin or overly-sentimental.” Madeleine Burton, Herts Advertiser
