“Almost unbearably tense, delicate yet tough… Vekemans’s writing is unflinching, its sparse language and aching silences charged with scarcely articulated pain... profoundly rewarding.” —The Times

“Painful, powerful… a minutely realistic look at the oddly colourless nature of grieving, and the grim concrete structures that 21st-century secular society builds around it.” —Time Out

An extraordinary play that asks a simple question: is it ever possible to move on?

Poison by Dutch writer Lot Vekemans had a critically acclaimed run in New York in 2016, and was premiered in the UK at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, in November 2017, directed by Paul Miller.
