About The Play
About The Play
Paul dreams of terrorists in the sports hall and bombs left by the school gate, but that’s normal for a teenage boy…
Katie has a crush on her English teacher, but so does every sixth former. . .
Andy borrowed a CD from a pupil, and chatted with her after class, but there is nothing wrong with that. . .
Fearing is directed by up-and-coming young director John Terry, and marks Shapeshifter’s return to the Finborough after last summer’s hugely successful revival of Rolf Hochhuth’s Soldiers, which was Time Out Critic’s Choice and which lead to the company winning the Peter Brook Empty Space Mark Marvin Award for a future production of Keith Dewhurst’s Lark Rise to Candleford, which will be produced at the Finborough Theatre in October. Both productions were commissioned from Shapeshifter by the Finborough Theatre’s Artistic Director, Neil McPherson.
