About the show
Cuffed is a new play by Oscar Buxton, presented by Hounded Theatre at the bow venue as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The 45-minute dark comedy follows Sam, who wakes on a Wednesday to find himself in handcuffs in a local field after a night of heavy drinking and mistakes. Faced with this low point, Sam decides his life needs a new purpose — one that does not involve romance.
Why see this show?
A new play that starts on a very specific Wednesday morning — handcuffs, a field, regret — and builds from there. At 45 minutes, Cuffed is concise and darkly comic. Suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
