Binding Agent | “Look. You two need to loosen up a bit, because you might be here for an unbelievably long time, okay? Just a piece of advice. Do you want a smoothie?”

Two hostages struggle to co-operate whilst trying to escape their unpredictable, smoothie-toting kidnapper. A play about polarisation, the alienating effects of half-truths and misinformation and a general sense of political claustrophobia and malaise. Written by Harry Smithson. Directed by award-winning director Chris Yarnell.
