Believe Me - Version 2

Recommended by

  • Eric Goudie: Believe Me - Version 2

    An expertly-crafted play about our perceptions of those we love, and what we do when faced with (seemingly) incontrovertible evidence of their monstrosity. But it's more than just a simple morality tale - all four characters have complex, competing objectives, and you can never be sure who's telling the truth, or why.

    This intense psychological thriller hooks you in from the start and keeps you hooked. The four characters are fully drawn and the complex dynamics between all of them fully realized. We feel the horror Lisa feels as she realizes more and more about who her brother, her rescuer really is. Like a nightmare you need to talk about to shake off, this play is something the audience will be discussing after the house lights come up. and all the way home from the theatre.

    Rachel Feeny-Williams goes for tension from the very start, and for 20 pages she does not take her foot off the accelerator. Lisa gets backed further into a corner at every fresh revelation, but doesn't relent in her defense of her indefensible brother until—does she?—just after the blackout. It's easy to imagine the audience shouting out: "He's in the bedroom!"
