"This play will quite literally leave you shivering”
A young couple are moving into their new home.
A soldier is being held hostage.
Two boys are searching for monsters.
All these events are connected by both family and time ... but what story can be told when family and time are broken?
Covering the space of 12 years, Shivered unpicks the story of two families and then re-weaves it into something new and startling.
Seven people, one war, a derelict car plant and mysterious lights in the sky ... all come together in Draylingstowe, Essex, where the view from green hills once offered hope and prosperity for all.
“Breathtakingly haunting ... stingingly real ... Ridley’s work has always had the ability to smack you in the face. This play will quite literally leave you shivering” Stage Won
Mad March Hare Theatre Company is an emerging, exciting addition to the Sydney independent theatre scene. Their brand of dynamic, artist-driven theatre was most recently seen in the acclaimed revival of Jonathan Gavin’s A Moment on the Lips at the Old Fitzroy Theatre in 2014.
Now they bring their unique style to bear on the work of one of the great writers of contemporary British theatre – Philip Ridley (Tender Napalm, Vincent River, Piranha Heights, Mercury Fur) – with this Australian premiere of his 2012 play Shivered.
Shivered is about fragmentation, about the break-up of families, friendships and community, and the shattering of certainties between reality and fantasy. Seventeen brilliantly linked scenes are performed non-chronologically, moving back and forth in time, painfully piecing together the shards of glass.
“Ridley is at his imaginative best in what is arguably his most accessible adult-play to date”
