Caught, Pleasance Theatre Islington

Actress cum playwright Leah Lawry-Johns brings the grit of crime drama to the stage this September, with the premiere of new play Caught.
A cast of three female actors will play six different characters in a story that's set to subvert preconceptions of crime, punishment and justice.The play is set in Canterbury, where, sparked by the mysterious murder of a young woman, Detective Inspector Acton faces off against five adversaries, the suspects. As she attempts to plumb their deepest secrets, her own start to come into view.
Producer Joe Shellard, impressed us with the eerily immersive ‘Styx’ in July, is producing ‘Caught’, and we are intrigued by the idea of this all-female cast shifting identities in a dark, gritty production. This inspection of criminal justice and character motivation should be worth a look.
