The Gall Of The House Of Sud: The Perils of Youth Play

In an ancient rotting house an unseen visitor knocks at the front door. So begins an argument between a poisonous crone and her pompous, disgraced son, over who should get up and open it. The play is built on a single, deliberately bad joke, repeated and re‑shaped until it becomes something stranger: a dream‑riff on families, intergenerational trauma, envy, hate, life and death, the power of speech, mothers and sons, and the theatre itself. The Perils of Youth portrays the eternal struggles that reside within the family and the collective unconscious. 

Described as "an unforgettable study of family dynamics and what it means to be alive" and following a successful Camden Fringe run, the play was the Camden New Journal's Pick of the Fringe of over 400 shows.
