'I've dreamed of this day. My whole life.' There's one hour to go before the wedding, but now the wedding may not be going ahead. From Lyn Gardner-recommended double act Britney – aka Ellen Robertson (Vladimir, Mickey17, The Pale Horse) and Charly Clive (Rooster, Pure, The Lazarus Project) – comes a brand new two-hander about ownership, tradition and the all-important 'L' word of any relationship: leverage. Praise for previous shows: 'Charly Clive and Ellen Robertson's wonderfully infectious relationship radiates warmth and mischief from the stage' **** (Scotsman). 'A surreal, sensitive triumph' **** (Independent). 'Funny, heart-wrenching and honest' (i Paper).

About the show

Jitters is a brand new two-hander from Country Mile Productions in association with United Agents. With one hour to go before the wedding, the ceremony may not go ahead. Performers Ellen Robertson and Charly Clive — the double act known as Britney — explore ownership, tradition and the all-important question of leverage in any relationship. The piece is described as new writing in the drama tradition and contains distressing or potentially triggering themes. It runs for 60 minutes at the Old Lab.

Why see this show?

A tightly wound new play about what we owe each other — and what we use against each other — told by a duo whose warmth and mischief are noted even in the listing. Thought-provoking and genuinely funny in equal measure.
