About the Show

Max Wilkinson's one-woman show about a lone delivery cyclist returns to the Arcola Theatre.

Rainer cycles across London delivering food and creates vivid film-inspired stories in her mind as she does. But things take an unexpected turn when her lover suddenly disappears.

'Rainer' was a finalist for Samuel French’s Off-Broadway Award, longlisted for Theatre Uncut’s Political Playwriting Award and winner of the Prix Royal competition in Paris.

Written by Max Wilkinson and directed by Nico Rao Pimparé. This production is recommended for ages 14+.

Critic Reviews (2)

The writing is smart and original but occasionally feels formulaic. The show could have further legs, although references to Covid already feel dated.

Sometimes the plot feels far-fetched ... The writing has clear signs of brilliance and daring but needs sharper editing. Jamie Platt’s lighting and Jethro Cooke’s sound design are fabulous. Kennedy’s performance is a bravura one.
