Bash: latterday plays

After an acclaimed run at the Old Red Lion Theatre, Bash: latterday plays is transferring into the West End once again, to showcase Neil Labute's macabre trio of plays, based on the Greek tragedy of Euripides, and united by the perceived attitudes of the Latter Day Saints.

Each of Labute's contemporary fables has a heart of darkness, from the business man who confesses to a horrific crime, to the woman who is scarred by the abuse of a teacher; this is a sometimes twisted exploration of the evilness hidden below the surface of everyday life. Coming from three different backgrounds of the Mormon faith, the wretched characters convey, in monologues, the provocative and vivid glimpse into the dark side of humanity that got Labute expelled from the Mormon faith.
