‘real life’s much weirder’
Gethin is 23, just finished a film course and reckons he’s the next Scorsese. His Mum is on at him to do her friend’s wedding video – and before they get divorced. But Gethin is interested in a much more daring project – one that will test his friendships, piss off his sister, question his idealism and turn his life and that of his family upside down.
Perve is an irreverent and unsettling play that interrogates paranoia, ambiguity and innocence in our highly sexualized world.

An excellent and exciting play. A very interesting story performed in such a way that you were kept on the edge of your seat to see what would happen next. Very dramatic storyline and fairly edgy but with some humour also. Great division between scenes. Strong performances from all the actors. Layla’s monologue was very well performed and very believable. Some very well placed moments of silence in the play, which made you wonder what was going to happen next. A very enjoyable performance and I would highly recommend it.
