ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL COMEDIES EVER
“Gallowglass is RUTH RENDELL (Barbara Vine) at her best....it is compulsive reading; an unsettling narrative that casts eerie shadows into the unknown” Woman’s Journal
Tuesday 20 - Saturday 24 February
Sandor began to tell him a fairytale: an ageing prince, a kidnapped princess chained by one ankle, a missed rendezvous... But what did this mysterious story have to do with Sandor? Joe only understood his own role - he was a Gallowglass, the servant of a chief... This classy thriller is brought to you by Middle Ground Theatre Company, whose most recent production here was A Murder Is Announced.
“Marvellously gripping....tense, compulsive and beautifully written” Sunday Express

‘YOU’LL ROAR WITH LAUGHTER’
A world stage premiere from the pen of one of the world’s greatest thriller writers. When Sandor snatched little Joe from the path of a London tube train, he was quick to make clear the terms of the rescue. “I saved your life”, he told the homeless youngster, “so your life belongs to me now”.
