Poison
Bristol Old Vic Theatre School’s Directors’ Cuts 2019: Lot Vekemans’ powerful show about manipulation, a grapple of the past, and a fight for domination.
Nearly a decade after the burial of their son, HE and SHE have broken apart. But when they are confronted with the news that their son’s cemetery is closing and his grave must be relocated, they are forced to reunite. Angry, jaded, but ever curious, they meet.
Unearthing wounds once silenced, their meeting becomes an exercise in manipulation, a grapple of the past, and a fight for domination.

Poison is a simple but searing play about grief, love, and the will to move on.
