GLASSHOUSE
A NEW FORUM THEATRE PLAY BY KATE TEMPEST DIRECTED BY ADRIAN JACKSON
Glasshouse is a story about family and how hard it can be to keep loving. Three short stories take you into the minds of three members of the same family. They fail to stay together and struggle to survive apart. Framed by Kate Tempest’s haunting poetry, the play draws us into a dark and gritty London illuminated by moments of unexpected tenderness.
