Nunnery,
Eli
By Hannah Caplan
Directed by Douglas Clarke-Wood
With Amaia Naima Aguinaga and Francis Nunnery
A spiraling playwright dramatizes the secrets of her broken relationship, but as passion blurs into obsession she loses her grip on the narrative. Should she let truth get in the way of a good story?
In this tender will-they-won’t-they, we are catapulted through a decade of Eli and Grace’s relationship. As they spin in each other's orbit, we unravel how much they mean to each other and why it fell apart.
Meticulously hand crafted by multi-disciplinary artists, this "beautifully conceived and brilliantly performed" (British Theatre Guide) non-linear love story is a metatheatrical rollercoaster through heartbreak and hyperreality. Catch the 5 star, kaleidoscopic cult-hit for their Stateside debut.
