What happens when a prison executioner tormented by guilt has a chance encounter with a sadistic serial killer?Delve deep into the psyche of two killers in one system. The play takes the audience into the minds of our protagonists: an agonised prison executioner and a twisted serial killer. Traumatised by the nature of his job, the prison executioner is at the brink of insanity. The killer, driven by his obsession with the noose, sadistically uses the executioner’s fear and social conditioning against him to push him over the edge, ultimately leading to a shocking conclusion.Combining an eclectic mix of dark comedy and absurdist theatre, Hangman challenges the audience's moral compass and explores themes of guilt, redemption, and the human psyche. The play poses myriad philosophical questions. Could we forgive the perpetrator? Should the death penalty be abolished? Should executing people ever be considered an occupation? Questions that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats, craving for more, and contemplating long after the curtains close.This play is non locality or region defined.
