We're Few And Far Between

Is an abused narrator necessarily an unreliable one?

In a story of obsession and manipulated narratives, who gains our sympathy?

Learn the rules of the game: imitation, control, sarcasm. By whatever means available, Tobias will solve the puzzle of the fabricated world that Penelope lives in.

Following their relationship as they dissect a fabricated childhood in foster care, We’re Few and Far Between unravels the mystery of a crime by challenging the audience to justify abuse, manipulation, and violence.

Shortlisted for Hope Mill Theatre’s national playwriting competition, We’re Few and Far Between is a new play by Claudia Vyvyan. It marks Alexzandra Sarmiento's (Hamilton, Victoria Palace; Jekyll and Hyde, The Old Vic; Living Newspaper, Royal Court) solo directing debut and features Luke Cinque-White (Billy Elliot, UK Tour; Up Next, National Theatre; The Crown, Netflix) and Georgia Vyvyan (Scholar’s Creek, White Bear Theatre; Othello, Cambridge Arts Theatre; Mary Stuart, Cambridge Arts Theatre).
