Bindweed

Four men. One Community Centre. Zero room to hide.

"Thursdays, curry night. Curry and a pint for a fiver. Go at five thirty, home by ten. Beat my mum up for a while. Bed by ten thirty.”

A group of convicted domestic abusers sits down to confront the truth in a perpetrator programme. Leading them is Jen — a facilitator thrown in at the deep end and determined to make a difference. Change is messy, resistance runs deep and as breakthroughs blur into breakdowns, what’s done behind closed doors starts spilling into the real world.

Sharp, unsettling, and laced with dark humour, Bindweed by Martha Loader is a gripping play that digs into the roots of abuse, asking the questions no one wants to answer: can people really change - and who pays the price if they don’t?
