Binding Agent - Brighton Fringe
Binding Agent
“Look. You two need to loosen up a bit, because you might be here for an unbelievably long time, okay? Just a piece of advice. - Do you want a smoothie?”

Simon Huxley (corporate hack/ amateur historian), and Annette (Languages Teacher/ yogi) struggle to co-operate whilst trying to escape their unpredictable, health-obsessed kidnapper. Political, blender-adjacent dark comedy written by Harry Smithson. Directed by award-winning director Chris Yarnell.

Following a sold out run at the White Bear Theatre, this politically driven piece of new writing explores the difficulty of nuanced discussion, disagreement in the modern age, and how pre-conceptions can blind us even during hostile, bizarre, and life-threatening situations.
