PETER EYRE and ARTHUR DARVILL in the World Premiere of

Terre Haute by Edmund White

Thou shalt not kill 168 and live…

A famous author comes face-to-face with America's most notorious terrorist. One has a story to write, the other a story to tell. As the clock ticks on death row, the bond between the two men grows.

A haunting imagination of Gore Vidal's relationship with Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVeigh in a scorching new play from one of America's greatest living writers, author of A Boy's Own Story.

Terre Haute is Edmund White's first new play for a decade, presented by acclaimed new writing company nabokov.

"Something special... George Perrin's continually absorbing, 80-minute production... featuring two of the most beautifully judged performances on the London stage... holds its audience in an almost mesmeric grip... topical, transgressive and thrillingly dramatic."
Daily Telegraph (Critic's Choice)

"Fascinating…This play, tautly directed by George Perrin, is gripping stuff."
Sunday Telegraph (Critic's Choice)

"Compelling… tight with the strange, sad tension that made it a hit up north last year."
Evening Standard (Critic's Choice)

"Brave… bracingly brilliant."
Sunday Express (Critic's Choice)
