Description: A young couple are moving into their new home. A soldier is being held hostage. Two boys are searching for monsters. All these things are connected by both family and time but what story can be told when family and time are broken? Set over the course of twelve years, 'Shivered' unpicks the story of two families and then re-weaves it into something new and startling. It is a state of the nation play meets a dream like memory play. It premiered at the Southwark Playhouse in March 2012.
