About the show
The Infant is a thriller-drama by Fred and Bert Theatre. A child has been murdered, and his catatonic young mother awaits interrogation by two officers. Opposite her sits June, a psychic interrogator tasked with uncovering the truth. As June uses her abilities to gain visions of the crime, a startling revelation takes the investigation in an entirely new direction. Her psychic mind is tested as she faces a terrifying question: can she truly be certain that her reality is the objective one? Set in Arkansas in nineteen seventy-four, the show runs for 50 minutes at Theatre 1, is suitable for ages 14 and over, and carries warnings for distressing themes and strong language. Tickets are £12.50.
Why see this show?
A tight, fifty-minute psychological thriller that turns on the reliability of a psychic investigator's perceptions — the central question of whether June's visions are trustworthy unsettles the whole investigation in unexpected ways.
