Two strangers connect in Berlin as hidden histories emerge over a single night.
Tom arrives in Berlin with no accommodation and no clear plan. When Charlotte, a local bartender, offers him a place to stay, the pair are quickly drawn to one another. As their night together unfolds, attraction gives way to revelation, and personal histories emerge that complicate their growing connection. By morning, both are forced to confront secrets that cannot be left in the past.
The play is written by Joanna Murray-Smith, one of Australia's most produced contemporary playwrights, and makes its UK debut following an acclaimed Australian premiere. This production is directed by Lucy Bailey (Witness for the Prosecution), known for her work on psychologically driven dramas and large-scale theatrical adaptations.
Set over the course of a single night, the drama explores memory, identity, and the lasting impact of historical events on individual lives. Through the encounter between Tom and Charlotte, the play examines how personal relationships can intersect with questions of history, responsibility, and remembrance.
