Join Sam Marlowe as he recreates live the cinematic 'noirish' nightmare inside his mind straight into your ears.*
Sam is obsessed with detective stories and film noir, so he can’t help but start digging when his long-term crush drops a case into his lap. Struggling to cope with the recent separation of his parents, he takes refuge in an internal narration in the hardboiled style of Raymond Chandler.
Sam fights to hold onto his narrative as sleep deprivation sets in and he begins to descend into surrealist chaos. Using multiple cameras edited live, voice manipulation to present all the characters and extensive sound design mixed live to piece together the final weeks of high school where one supposed cheating partner lead to a seismic scandal systematically spread across campus.

“British theatre would be completely stymied without tiny, under-resourced venues such as CPT, which are a critical part of the theatre ecology.”
