A RAW TWO-HANDER ABOUT TOXIC LOVE: Behind Closed Doors

Behind Closed Doors comes to Guildford Fringe with a raw, intimate two-hander about love at its most intoxicating and destructive.
When charismatic, self-destructive Jude falls for controlled, meticulous Charlie, passion quickly blurs into obsession.

As secrecy, addiction and violence creep into their relationship, the line between saving someone and destroying them begins to vanish.
Gripping, intense and unflinching, this is theatre that looks directly at toxic love and the damage it can leave behind.

★★★★★
‘A raw and gripping portrait of love, obsession and emotional damage’

BAD DECISIONS, FALSE HOPE AND BIG LAUGHS: I've Started So I'll Finish

brings award-winning comedy to Guildford Fringe with a show about bad decisions, stubbornness and refusing to admit you might be wrong.
What if you have chosen the wrong partner, the wrong job or the wrong path entirely?
Best not to think about it.
For anyone exhausted by inspirational mantras and relentless self-improvement, Samantha Day offers a much funnier alternative: once you choose false hope, anything is possible.
A hilarious night for anyone who has ever doubled down instead of backing out.😂

★★★★★
‘A brilliantly funny celebration of bad decisions and blind optimism’

NOT YOUR CHILDHOOD FAIRY TALES: Buckets of Blood - Fairy Tales Not For Kids

This certainly is not a Disney fairy story.
Yorkshire storyteller Eden Ballantyne comes to Guildford Fringe with a collection of darker tales from the Brothers Grimm, uncovering the strange, sinister and seriously unsettling bits that popular fairy tales have often cleaned up for children.
What was Red Riding Hood really running from?
Dark, gripping and definitely not for kids, Buckets of Blood is a storytelling show for anyone who likes their fairy tales twisted, bloody and a little too close to the bone.

★★★★★
‘Fairy tales stripped back to their strange, sinister roots’
