Synopsis

I think I want you to hurt.

I'm sorry but that's what I want.

I want you to really hurt.

Rebecca and Paul are running away.

Away from memories and mistakes.

They're trying to save their relationship.

They need time and space.

An isolated house in the country is the perfect place to work things out.

They set themselves rules: they have to be honest, they have to listen and they have to be fair.

But you can't run forever.

Especially when you're being followed.

Black Mountain is a tense psychological thriller about betrayal and forgiveness by winner of the Harold Pinter Commission Brad Birch.

A Paines Plough, Theatr Clwyd and Orange Tree Theatre production, Black Mountain was first performed at Theatre Clwyd, Mold, in July 2017.
