Tender Napalm
By Phillip Ridley
May 11-14, 18-21.
The Cellar Theatre.
This play calls itself “the story of you and your first great love”.
Tender Napalm is a 2 hander involving a man and a woman exploring their relationship and their battles of love, compassion and grief. Riding through waves of storytelling, fantasy and past memories they create armies against each other while deflecting the distance and pain growing in between them. It studies the violence of love and association with hate and the bond created through grief.
