SWEETMEAT
'I was born to feel my blood vessels burst under your teeth.'
How far would you go to fulfill your fantasies?
Sigmund longs for more closeness than any of his partners have been able to offer.
Christian wants to be consumed, to disappear completely and utterly inside someone else.
When the two men are brought together, their relationship reaches dizzying heights of morbid passion as their desires start to come true.
Bold, unflinching, and shocking, but not gratuitous. Inspired by the true story of consensual cannibal Armin Meiwes, Sweetmeat is a play about queer loneliness, desensitisation, and the purity of love.
Coming 2024
Starring Matthew Dunlop and Jamie McClean

"The whole show feels akin to a string on a violin continually being wound by the tuning peg until it snaps (...) It’s a pace that is rarely done so well in writing, and if Alfred Hitchcock were still alive he’d undoubtedly be all over this."
