Description: 'Tender Napalm', first staged at London's Southwark Playhouse in 2011, is a high-impact, high-concept two handed play which explores the landscape that is a relationship between a man and a woman. Explosive, poetic and brutal, the play re-examines and redefines a savagely romantic language of love. Setting, character and narrative remain unspecified. Instead, 'Tender Napalm' is real time drama: simply two people dissecting their relationship through a distorted mixture of memory and imagination, monologues and conversations fusing into a strange and frantic fantasy of sex, violence, conflict and faith.
