Claustrophobia debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe before transferring to the Hope Theatre, London in 2015.
It was produced by To the Moon, in association with Theatre Bench and Epsilon Productions.
'We could do whatever we like in here and no one would ever know.’
'Apart from you and me.'
A woman. A man. Trapped.
Isolated from the outside world, games and fantasies blur into memories neither wishes to confront. Claustrophobia puts relationships under the microscope and asks – “what does it mean to be in control?”
