Anthony Neilson’s adaptation of The Tell-Tale Heart for the National Theatre updates the original, adding slasher film shocks while retaining the intense strangeness of the original.
‘A mildly amusing schlock-horror piece’: THE TELL-TALE HEART – National Theatre ★★★

UNREACHABLE – Royal Court Theatre
Anthony Neilson’s newly devised piece is both a comic masterpiece and a disappointingly unbalanced work.
UNREACHABLE – Royal Court Theatre
Anthony Neilson didn’t come into Unreachable rehearsals with a script, but an idea – a director obsessed with finding the perfect light. From this starting point, the cast sculpted a modern satire of the film industry and the people that exist in that world.
