Written by Corey Muizelaar and directed by Jason Marc Williams, the show will open at The Customs House, in South Shields, on Saturday, August 1.

The play is set almost entirely in a bedroom as audiences get placed into a private world that no one sees as they explore the relationship of Jude and Charlie.

What begins with humour and tenderness, the character’s are pushed to a breaking point as the production looks to ask what happens when two people love each other deeply, but are also the worst possible thing for one another.

Tickets for Behind Closed Door can be purchased at: https://customshouse.co.uk/theatre/behind-closed-doors/.
