Sex, race, drugs and verbals collide in Georgia Fitch's ADRENALIN…HEART, a terrifying roller-coaster of an intense affair between a single mum and a reluctant drug dealer on a north London estate. Erotic infatuation leads to addiction of a far more serious nature in this sharp, edgy and obsessive drama.

Directed by Mind the Gap Theatre's Artistic Director Paula D'Alessandris (THE CLERIC, UNDER THE BLUE SKY), the 70-minute two-hander ADRENALIN…HEART stars Katie Fabel and Lain Gray. (Ms. Fabel fills in for Mia Moreland, who needed to return to England to attend to a family emergency.

When it debuted in London, ADRENALIN…HEART was called, "Impressive. Very Impressive," by The Daily Telegraph. It was selected as a critic's choice by Time Out London - who said, "the effect of such fine, fearless writing and near flawless performances is as close to getting a needle in the ticker as you are likely to experience in the theatre." And the London Times said, "It fizzes with life both human and theatrical."
