    ‘PULSE’ is a true story: it is also a pack of lies. Built around a series of verbatim interviews, this true-crimedy asks the audience to think the unthinkable.

    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."

    "Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."

    Local school teacher
