Rage from Vertigo

After a successful year including the award-winning thriller M, Mysterious Skin (that was offered a West End theatre) and the sell-out audience favourite Christmas Sorority Massacre, Vertigo Theatre Productions is kicking off its season with a newly revised version of the original play Rage by award-winning writers/directors Craig Hepworth and Adele Stanhope.

It’s a normal day, in a normal American town at a normal American high school, but, as the students sit in class a fellow student opens fire on the school, killing and injuring many of his classmates.

On the April 16 performance, a minute’s silence will be held marking the anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting. And on the final night the same will happen marking the anniversary of the Virginia Tech Massacre.

It’s at Manchester’s Three Minute Theatre from April 15.
