DANGLING-Southwark Playhouse 2017

Dangling – Southwark Playhouse 2017

In London, a teenage girl has gone missing. In Manchester, another teenager is driven to the edge of what she can bear.

This dark, compelling story explores the consequences of breaking the normal bonds of love. When two girls inexplicably disappear, two families are left dangling.

A stark, contemporary play, ‘Dangling’ looks at the damage that happens when you can’t trust the people you love.
