Murderer

Opening with one of the must truly horrifying scenes ever devised for the stage, the play unfolds upon an incredulous and mesmerized audience. Constantly shifting, twisting, beguiling and witty, it is a brilliantly compelling drama, forever shunning the obvious and culminating in a stunning and terrifying climax.
Shaffer explores the very nature of murder, examining the peculiar, subtle and often unappreciated relationship between murderer and victim. Set against a background of sexual claustrophobia, he looks into what murder is all about and why we are all so attracted to this foul and unnatural act.
