About the Show

A contemporary thriller about passion, power, and photosynthesis.

When a woman tells a lie to her girlfriend, a seed is planted that starts to grow in the darkness. When she starts to see things that no one else can, she becomes the focus of unwanted attention.

Direct from a critically acclaimed run at Edinburgh Fringe, Rafaella Marcus's 'SAP' is a new play based on an old myth.
