Dangerous memories faced in Kenilworth theatre’s drama

And the team working on this production of Rona Munro’s Iron have been putting in 110 per cent of their efforts into making sure the show is a success.

After 15 years Josie decides to visit her mother in prison, where Fay is serving a life sentence for the murder of her husband.

From fragile beginnings, the relationship between the two women strengthens, but Josie is still uncertain of the truth. Was the husband truly evil? What was Fay�s motive?

Fay’�s exchanges with the guards provide humour and pathos, despite the dark subject, providing the audience with further understanding of her complex character.

Describing the show as “an intense psychological drama”, director Andrew Woolley said: “The cast have been working tremendously hard over the rehearsal period to get the atmosphere and characters just right for this show, including a visit from the police to teach restraint and control technique.

“These two women are trying to break through the barriers of time, memory and punishment which separate them. But between them lies the fact of murder - a murder Josie cannot remember and Fay has always tried to forget. Uncovering the memories the they share is more dangerous than either of them can imagine.

“This show promises to be a stunning drama with lots of twists and turns being revealed along the way.”

Iron opens at the Priory Theatre in Rosemary Hill on Monday and runs until Saturday May 7. For tickets, call 863334 between 2pm and 8pm. www.priorytheatre.co.uk
