Don’t hesitate, just go because Richard Gadd’s brilliantly crafted one man show is such a slippery, crazy little thing. Creepy too as it tells the story of how Gadd fell victim to a stalker. Under Jon Brittain’s canny direction this operates like a hunt for the truth, or a thriller that drip feeds us information like water torture, as it becomes apparent that Gadd’s relationship with his tormentor is not as simple as that of the stalked and stalker. Her obsession becomes his obsession too, not least because the police don’t take the threat seriously. What’s so clever about the show is the way that it constantly makes you re-evaluate your perspective on the story. It makes us interrogate the very act of storytelling itself as it questions its own narrative. A lethal hour.
A sell-out hit at the Edinburgh Fringe and Bush Theatre, this is one of the sharpest shows hitting the West End this year. Fiercely clever, funny in places and rivetingly tense in others - this is well worth your time.
About Baby Reindeer
When award-winning comedian Richard Gadd offers a stranger a free cup of tea, he has no sense of the nightmare to come. One act of kindness. Six years of torment. The sell-out smash hit of last year’s Edinburgh Fringe, Baby Reindeer is the “blistering” debut play (Telegraph) from Richard Gadd (Monkey See Monkey Do, Netflix's ‘Sex Education’). Directed by Olivier Award-winner Jon Brittain (Rotterdam), this is a chilling personal account of compulsion, delusion and obsession. Some admirers simply won’t be shaken off. “A haunted, haunting hour.”
