Overview
There's gossip going around that we're all like him. That we're all
paper thin, that it's all been painted over, and each one of us is gonna
sit down one day and not be able to stand up, like we've disappeared
to ourselves. Harrogate tells the story of a father struggling to
confront his obsessions head-on without destroying his family. It is a
play about how we perform versions of ourselves depending on what
company we keep, and how we project onto others versions of the people
we want to see, rather than accepting who stands in front of us. The
play is a triptych about obsession, repression and lust. It received
its world premiere on the 11 September 2015 as part of the HighTide
Theatre Festival and this edition has been published for its subsequent
production in October 2016.
