7th-24th October 2009
The Terror season took its darkest turn yet with four unremitting plays by leading contemporary writers and moved to its new home at Southwark Playhouse.
‘One of the highlights of my theatrical calendar.’ (The Stage)
‘A fringe institution. Freakishly inventive.’ (Time Out)
Reviews
‘A chance to enjoy genuinely disturbing works by top writers – you won’t be disappointed.’ (London Lite ****)
‘Warped, creepy and morally ambiguous.’ (Michael Coveney – What’s On Stage.com)
‘These four short shockers ooze nasty glee. The work of an impressive roster of writing talent, the plays that comprise Terror, an annual season of horror now in its sixth year, have in common a confluence between violence and muddled modern gender politics. And they all display a degree of self-reflection that questions both the process and conventions of representing the unthinkable and our motives for watching it. It’s murkily intriguing.’ (The Times)
Psychogeography – by Lucy Kirkwood
With Matt Wilson, Zoie Kennedy and Lucy Caplin
Directed by Adam Meggido
‘Scarily good.’ (London Lite)
‘Ghoulish fun.’ (The Independent On Sunday)
The Experiment – by Mark Ravenhill
Performed by Mark Ravenhill

‘Shocking good horror.’ (Michael Coveney – Whatsonstage.com)
Twisted – by Anthony Neilson

‘A sharp, poisonous pinprick of a play, directed with forensic precision by Hannah Eidinow.’ (The Times)
Some White Chick – by Neil LaBute
With Matthew Stathers, Michael Cox, Lucy Caplin
Directed by Jason Lawson
‘Devastating.’ (London Lite)
‘Completely and utterly terrifying.’ (Fringe Review)
