Billing itself as a scintillating thriller, playwright Joanna Murray-Smith’s Berlin, set in the eponymous German capital, tells the story of a young couple, Charlotte and Tom, who meet in a bar. This conventional enough meeting is underpinned by the zeitgeist of 21st century Berlin, known as an epicenter of everything alternative.
As they descend into their respective pasts and their deepest secrets, the thrill creeps ever closer to its climax. Iain Sinclair directs, and Grace Cummings stars in the lead role.
