Wilderness

Having both been deeply scarred by their own parents’ separations, Joe and Anne never imagined they’d find themselves, years later, in the same position. Determined to place the interests of their son Alistair at the centre of their lives apart, they split with the firm objective of maintaining amicable relations at all costs. But a sudden change in circumstance triggers a chain of events that pushes their best intentions to the limit… Before they know it, they are both teetering dangerously close to the edge of an abyss.

Kellie Smith’s breakthrough play is a searing exploration of unconditional love and of the personal sacrifices it demands.

Anna Ledwich returns to direct following sell-out hits Dry Powder and Labyrinth (both Main Stage), Acceptance and Olivier Award-nominated Four Minutes Twelve Seconds (both Downstairs).
