In this double-bill of tense one-act plays, a prisoner is interrogated by an indomitable force of oppression, leaving the detainee questioning reality and battling for their last shred of humanity. Caged Time is an existential boxing match, a metaphysical game of chess, a duel with language.

Do you want me to tell you about my first time?

I was so nervous.

But then I realised the worst thing that could happen is that I would die.

Which meant I had nothing to lose.

A cell. A prisoner. A figure of authority. An idea. A question. A threat.

Caged Time: Strip and Echo of Nothing is is the fourth production from Silent Gutter, a theatre company focused on new writing who empower Northern voices and amplify their stories in worlds that swerve from the familiar to the fantastical.
