COMING UP:

NAMING THE VIEW

by Richard Curnow

On a bench, gazing at the view from Cleeve Hill, Kate is unexpectedly joined by an irritating acquaintance from her past. An awkward conversation slowly reveals why their hopes and dreams never quite matched their expectations. Eventually they find the courage to break the shackles of controlling partners and to relish the joy of freedom.

Naming The View is a contemporary play reimagining Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew thirty years after Kate and Pete’s unconventional wedding. It explores the damaging effects of abusive relationships and how, with support, it is possible to break the shackles of coercive control and look forward to new horizons.

​REVIEWS & AUDIENCE FEEDBACK:

Naming the View is riven with humour and hope. It’s reflections on dark subject matter are enclosed within a story of rekindled friendship and healing. But there is no doubt that this does touch on some bleak circumstances and with an affecting degree of intensity. Acknowledging the dedication to the emotional reality of domestic abuse is the highest praise I can give it.
