Award-winning actors Matthew Tennyson and Richard Cant will star in the world premiere of Sanctuary, the debut play by Jacob Sparrow and winner of the inaugural Leodis Prize. Directed by Josh Seymour, the reflective and time-shifting drama is inspired by real events in a Suffolk village, where plans to open an AIDS hospice in the early 1990s were met with local resistance. Sanctuary explores memory, belonging and community as past and present intertwine when one man is forced to confront memories he has long suppressed.
