This is a Chair and Hearts Desire

By Caryl Churchill

In Association with Glass Horse Theatre Company

As Brian and Alice wait for their daughter’s safe return from Australia, self-doubt turns to self-destruction. Their fears become reality and they grapple for control whilst desperately undoing and unspeaking their darkest thoughts and dreams; redrafting their lives over and over again.

Famed for her constant reinvention of theatrical forms, Caryl Churchill explores the dissatisfaction in us all and our never-ending battle to control expectations as her characters begin assault on each other and themselves.

Glass Horse Theatre Company is directed by Nicholas Barton-Wines who has worked with Mercury Theatre Company directors Tony Casement on Through The Leaves, Dee Evans on King David, Man of Blood and Gari Jones on A Slight Ache and The Lover.
