Posted on: 24 Sep 2024

From the acclaimed, award-winning writer of The Inheritance comes Reverberation, a sexy, funny and hauntingly human show with a star-studded cast.

 

Reverberation runs at Bristol Old Vic from Wednesday 2 October until Saturday 2 November 2024.

 

After a personal tragedy, Jonathan is withdrawn without much social life beyond the men he meets online. When free spirit Claire moves into the flat above, she tries to coax him out of his shell. Drawn together by a need for emotional attachment, they form a bond, but the past eventually meets the present, threatening their newfound happiness!
