| Patrick Jones , Chapter Arts Centre Cardiff , July 10, 2008 |
Patrick Jones's new play was never going to make for comfortable viewing. Confronting the taboo topic of domestic violence against men - based on interviews with 40 straight and gay men, and Jones's own experience of an abusive relationship - this is raw, angry theatre. There is one moment in particular of shocking violence, but mostly Jones portrays the reality of living under ceaseless, unfathomable emotional cruelty, interspersed with physical trauma.Full review available here: The Guardian on line |
