I Have Heard You Calling in the Night
Scroll ↓
Peter, a young priest, is scrambling to keep his head above water in the seaside town of Cromer, juggling small town politics and the looming threat of the annual carnival. Luckily, a wrong-number phone call connects him with Cillian, a mysterious stranger eager to help him from the other side of the world (Ireland). The two quickly spiral into a long-distance friendship that is as enjoyable and fulfilling as it is destructive and parasitic, as our heroes race to put together the Church float even as their lives fall apart. I Have Heard You Calling in the Night debuted in September 2021 at The Union Theatre in Southwark to enthusiastic audiences and two sell out shows.
“Peter…? Peter?
Peter, are you still there?”

It’s an endearing, quietly compulsive gem of bleak comedy, shot through with unexpected poignancy and flashes of inspired lunacy. - Alun Hood, WhatsOnStage reviewer
