Sympathy For The Devil

  • The Etcetera Theatre 265 Camden High Street London, England, NW1 7BU United Kingdom (map)

A trailer park somewhere outside of Dallas in 1982. Eddie, a heroin-addicted failed stand-up comedian, and his also heroin-addicted volatile girlfriend Mia return home to find a man bound and gagged in their bedroom. Shannon, Eddie's cold and methodical older sister explains she's been tasked with holding the man captive for two days after which he'll be picked up by 'connected' people. If they carry the task out all three of them are in for a major payout desperately needed as both Eddie and Mia are in withdrawal. However, once the gag is removed the man begins to manipulate his captors against one another in a bid to be set free. Pushing each of them to the brink and forcing them to question exactly what they are loyal to. 

 

A claustrophobic, intense, and darkly comic exploration of addiction.
