What is The Cutting Edge play by Jack Shepherd about?
“We all felt we were on the edge of a crumbling cliff. The future was ours for the taking.”
Anna and Chris have left the posh world of art criticism behind in favour of a more self-sustaining life in the countryside. But after seven long years, they're beginning to get cabin fever. Things get crazy when after the glamourous artist Elvira pays them a surprise visit, effectively uprooting the couple's newfound life. Memories of a bygone era come crashing down like a tidal wave and their lucrative past life is brought into focus once more.
This sharp piece by Jack Shepherd is a gripping tale exploring the human condition and is guaranteed to invoke feelings of shock and bewilderment that will stay with you long after the curtain falls.
