You’re exhausted. 
You feel like your insides have been rearranged. 
Your imagination colonised. 
So you breathe out and let yourself believe, just for a moment, that this must be what justice looks like.

This new digital play by Campbell Edinborough interrogates the politics and violence of contemporary storytelling. It reveals the role that action thrillers force audiences to play and invites them to regret learning their lines.

Developed specially for online streaming, it is directed by Charlie Cattrall, whose first feature Titus was nominated for two BIFAs, winning the Human Rights Award at the Oxaca Film Festival.

With Gráinne O’Mahony (SCRUM), Sanee Raval (I May Destroy You), Ruth Everett (RSC), Jerry Killick (Forced Entertainment) and Kulvinder Ghir (Goodness Gracious Me; Blinded by the Light).

Praise for Campbell Edinborough’s Walking Towards Ithaca:
‘We are completely held by his tale… this is a performance needed on the British Stage.’
★★★★★ A Younger Theatre
