A chip shop in London. A girl asks a boy for a pound. He refuses. High on drugs, she stabs him to death. For his family the need for revenge corrodes.
When his mother decides that the only way to halt this destructive spiral of hate is to meet the girl face to face she little realises that their initial disastrous meetings can lead to understanding and conciliation. A brilliant, thought provoking play to move and inspire.
Tickets: £11 | £10 Concessions | Sunday Matinee only £6
Audience Reactions:
"Just got back home from a great production of 'The Long Road'. I'm not gonna lie- Shelagh Stephenson's play tackles a hard subject, and isn't for those looking for 90 minutes of fun and frivolity. But the quality of acting and direction, together with a glimpse afforded the audience of how so unbearable (but not impossible) a task forgiveness is to undertake in some circumstances, makes this production essential viewing. Recommended." T.F.
"This production really deserved a bigger audience. The portrayals were excellent and the subject matter was approached wonderfully. There production was emotional and there were some lovely moments of humour. I know that there are only a couple of performances left, but this really is one to see. [I enjoyed] The performances from the cast. The effective use of lighting to focus on character and scene change."
