Sniff
A dark connection: two lives collide in a pub toilet.
In a small-town pub toilet, two strangers’ worlds collide. Liam, ensnared by addiction and financial woes, has never escaped the town that suffocates him. In contrast, Alex, dressed in a Hugo Boss suit and basking in the prestige of a Canary Wharf job, seems to have it all. But as the door locks behind them and time ticks away, hidden truths and a dark connection begin to surface.
Originally premiered at the Maltings Theatre in St Albans, this gripping play was hailed as an ‘outstanding script’ at Theatre503 in July 2022. Following a successful run at the Jack Studio Theatre in early 2023, it was revived at Park Theatre in 2024 after the success of a previous show. With a revised script and the support of the Park’s creative team, it garnered 5-star reviews and was subsequently published by Salamander Street Publishing.
