Strawberry Vale Productions in association with Western Edge Plays and the Bush Theatre present

Eigengrau
[ay-gen-gr-ow ] - noun intrinsic light; the colour seen by the eye in perfect darkness

Rose believes in true love and leprechauns. Her flatmate Cassie is engaged in a fervent struggle against patriarchal oppression.

Across London, Mark believes in the power of marketing. His flatmate Tim Muffin is engaged in a fervent struggle to get out of bed in the morning.

When circumstance throws them together, all four have their beliefs tested to devastating effect in a biting black comedy about trying to connect in a city where Gumtree can sometimes feel like your closest friend.

*Age rating 15+. Please be advised, this play contains scenes of a sexually explicit nature, real cigarettes and strobe lighting. Please call the Box Office for more information
