Theatre
The Guilty
Donmar Warehouse
Russell Tovey, stuck on the night shift as a police officer, answers a 999 call from a woman in danger. What unfolds over the phone is a thriller that works in real time, pulling tension from fragmented clues and distance. Directed by Felix Barrett and written by award-winning playwright Chloe Moss, it's built on a premise that's already proven itself in film.
The play mines that uncertainty and distance for genuine unease, never letting you settle into what you think you know. It's the kind of theatre that works because it trusts you to sit in the discomfort, letting a single phone line carry the weight of the entire night.
This suits anyone who likes their evening to play like a tense crime drama with the immediacy only live performance delivers.
