A close of a woman's face. She looks at the camera with her face at a 3/4 angle. There is a red backdrop behind her.

WORMHOLES

PRESENTED BY VISCEM
“No one looking at you would spot a thing out of place. You’re complacent. You and the worm coexist. Even though it’s eating you from the inside, you’ve got no idea.”

A domestic abuse survivor examines the jagged pieces of her past to understand why she’s being questioned by police.

She is in a mental facility, but apart from some memory loss, she can’t understand why she’s there. So why won’t they let her out? And why do all the other women around here remind her of forks in the pathway of her life that she didn’t walk down…. Wormholes to other possible futures and pasts?

But she’s stuck in this life and she thinks she did something terrible… and she needs to remember it, before her actions have dangerous consequences.

The world premiere of this darkly compelling tale about coercive control, domestic abuse and how the mind finds a way to escape, brings together a powerhouse team. Written by Emily Jupp (Liverpool Hope Prize 2019, Bruntwood longlist 2022), starring Victoria Yeates (Call the Midwife, Fantastic Beasts, Ben and Imo) and directed by Scott Le Crass (Rose, Ambassador’s Theatre)
