Psychological Thriller LOCKED UP Receives Three Off West End Nominations  Image

Bear In The Air Productions has announced that 'Locked Up' has received three Off West End nominations. Co-stars Samuel Ranger and Conor Cook are nominated in the Male Performance In A Play category and writer Heather Simpkin for Most Promising New Playwright.

Directed by James McAndrew, this gripping, wryly humorous dark thriller continues to make audiences gasp. Heather Simpkin rips the lid off the surveillance state and corruption producing an absorbing, modern day Orwellian thriller...but can you keep the end a secret?

You will need to hurry! You have until Saturday 28th July to catch this tension filled, scarily relevant new drama at the Tristan Bates Theatre in Covent Garden.

Don't miss out and check out the Saturday Ticket Offer: £12 TICKETS ON SATURDAY 21ST JULY FOR ALL MATINÉE AND EVENING PERFORMANCES. Quote Promo Code: OFFWEST10 online or at the box office.

"Locked Up skilfully reminds us that incarceration, isolation and irrelevance are inescapable and omnipresent human fears." (British Theatre Guide)

Two men are trapped in a confined space which they interpret as their cell. Since being taken against their will, the only world that exists for them is that cell and an enigmatic White Room where there are few clues to their immediate predicament...

Desperation grows as Declan (Samuel Ranger) and Topher (Conor Cook) try to find a way out and discover answers to their questions. They have no idea who has taken them or why. As the tension builds both characters reflect upon each other and their situation. Will they buckle under the strain of emotional endurance or can they remain rational enough to piece together the twists and turns of their absurd situation?

LOCKED UP is a powerful, slickly written story that explores trust, betrayal and comradeship in times of trouble. It directly engages with the current political and social landscape whilst addressing the nature of integrity and honesty in everyone, from the most powerful to the voiceless and vulnerable in society.

Poignant, wryly humorous and scarily relevant. Bold, punchy and powerful new writing. A fascinating must see new play.

£12 TICKETS ON SATURDAY 21ST JULY FOR ALL MATINÉE AND EVENING PERFORMANCES. Quote Promo Code: OFFWEST10 online or at the box office.

Runs at the Tristan Bates Theatre until Saturday 28th July 2018
