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.
