Poison (NHB Modern Plays)

'We're…
A man and a woman
Who've lost a child
Who first lost a child
And then… each other
Or maybe I should say:
Who first lost a child,
then themselves and then each other'
An extraordinary play that asks a simple question: is it ever possible to move on?
Poison by Dutch writer Lot Vekemans, in this English translation by Rina Vergano, had a critically acclaimed run in New York in 2016, and was premiered in the UK at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, in November 2017, directed by Paul Miller.
The original Dutch-language version of the play, Gif, was first performed at NT Gent/NL in December 2009.
