Shellshocked, a gripping cat and mouse thriller that will keep audiences guessing until the final explosive scene, launches the Spring/Summer 25 season in the Bramall Rock Void studio theatre at Leeds Playhouse.
Set after the Second World War, it explores the horrors of those who served and the horrors of those who did not. It also investigates loyalty, relationships, and the desire to make great art.
“We are absolutely thrilled to be presenting Shellshocked at Leeds Playhouse,” said Leeds playwright Philip Stokes.“The play is inspired by the city and set in Morley. It’s a very Leeds-centric piece, referencing the area, the dialect, the attitudes, and the uniqueness of two Loiners with very different lives. Watch Mr Lupine and young Wesley battle it out, showing how youth and maturity clashed generations ago. There’s always been a generation gap; the war just widened it.”
This powerful new play enjoyed a hugely successful sold-out Edinburgh Fringe Festival run, garnering rave reviews in The Scotsman and Theatre Weekly.
