The Crimson Retribution by Steve Pearce

Crimson IconDarkly comic drama with a superhero sleeping on the sofa.

As part of this year's 24:7 theatre festival, ShrinkWrapped Theatre presents the latest play by MEN Theatre Award nominated playwright Steve Pearce: The Crimson Retribution.

Amy’s world is coming apart. Her relationship with Sean is failing, his half-brother Kyle’s after more than she’s willing to give and now there’s a super-hero sleeping on the sofa. True, he doesn’t actually claim to be a super-hero, but then again, no-one ever claims to be a crook
