Why do hurt people hurt people? Can we transcend and forgive others for the misguided wrongs done to us in childhood?

 

Heather and Carla haven’t seen each other since school. Their lives have taken very different paths – Carla lives a hand-to-mouth existence, while Heather has a high flying career, a husband and a beautiful home. And yet, here they are in a cafe having tea and making awkward conversation. That is, until Heather presents Carla with an unexpected proposition.

​

Written by Morgan Lloyd Malcom, The Wasp is an electric thriller asking how far beyond the playground we carry our childhood experiences and what lengths we are willing to go to overcome them.

Reviews

​

***** “A thrilling, real edge of the seat drama"

Carn’s Theatre Passion

​

**** "In a West End largely populated by the sentimental and saccharine, 'The Wasp' is a focused, cruel little bullet to the head"

London City Nights

​

**** "A first-rate psychological thriller...the production is superbly put together"
