Synopsis

A tranquil suburban evening in the early 1950s: the kids are away on a Junior Cherokee camping trip and a string of coincidences leads to a spontaneous grown-up party in the basement of a new ranch house.

Exotic cocktails are imbibed, raucous games are played, and new friends are made, but much is happening that no one is talking about.

And something is stirring underground.

Blood Play is a darkly comic thriller of post-war verve and pre-adolescent disquiet, created by New York’s critically lauded The Debate Society.
