    About this ebook

    ‘You can’t tell your mum the streets are full of psychos and it’s pure fluke you get home alive every night.’

    A controversial new gaming experience is inspiring a generation. In Killology, players are rewarded for torturing victims, scoring points for ‘creativity’.

    But Killology isn’t sick. In fact it’s marketed by its millionaire creator as a deeply moral experience. Because yes, you can live out your darkest fantasies, but you don’t escape their consequences.

    Out on the streets, not everybody agrees with him.

    ‘There is an instinctive revulsion against taking a human life. And that revulsion can be conquered.’

    Killology by Gary Owen was co-produced by Sherman Theatre, Cardiff, and the Royal Court Theatre, London. It premiered at Sherman Theatre in March 2017 and in the Jerwood Theatre Upstairs at the Royal Court Theatre in May 2017.

      This revival of Betty Blue Eyes, directed by Sasha Regan, sits happily in the small Union Theatre. Somehow it accommodates a talented ensemble cast of nineteen and a three-piece band without ever feeling cramped. It’s 1947 in a Yorkshire village. Rat

      Might be just me, but it jumped between other characters so often it was hard at times to stay connected. Otherwise, a gripping piece of writing.
