    A dictaphone records. A train approaches the platform. A child lets go of her stuffed pink elephant. 

    This play is a true story: it is also a pack of lies. Built around a series of verbatim interviews, PULSE is a piece of True-Crime theatre. 

    Writer-performer Eloise Heath uses years of experience in documentary filmmaking to craft a confronting portrait of Alice- a woman spending life in prison. 

    An exploration of violence, radical empathy, and the ways the monstrous may not be quite as it seems, PULSE is a true-crimedy that asks the audience to think the unthinkable.

    Developed on Starting Blocks at Camden People's Theatre.

    "Full of fun, important, hilarious, feminist brilliance."
    Fran Bushe [on previous work by the writer]
    "Interesting and unexpected ... delicately handled."
    The Scotsman [on previous work by the writer]
    "Faultless"

    “Such a crucial part of the UK theatre ecology… Developing artists and audiences”
