Photos: First Look at SMOKE at Southwark Playhouse
The production opens tonight at 8pm.
All new production photos have been released for Smoke at Southwark Playhouse that opens tonight at 8pm.
The story takes place in early 2010s New York City at a BDSM party. Julie (Meaghan Martin) is a privileged college dropout dipping her toes into the world of BDSM. She meets John (Oli Higginson), a cynical struggling artist willing to act as her guide. Their whirlwind encounter starts as a sexually-charged game of cat and mouse, but as they get to know each other these seemingly self-possessed characters have their boundaries and notions of consent challenged. The consequences are irreparable and unsettling.
