Four boarding school alumni gather in a secluded country house to divide a dead friend’s inheritance over dinner, but the evening soon begins to unravel. Insults are flung, compliments curdle into cruelty, and civility fractures as social grace is pushed to its breaking point.

Deliciously disturbing, Persona is a gripping, darkly comic and cathartically unsettling reunion from award-winning LAMDA graduate company Namesake Theatre.

Fast-paced, gripping, and by turns hilarious and hellish, Persona peels back the curtain on the masks we wear to survive, asking what, if anything, lies beneath.

Come see this limited two-night preview before the show heads to Edinburgh, following Namesake’s sold-out run last year.
