WILD HORSES

by Nimer Rashed
15 June - 10 July 2010

You have to solve the conundrum, Ellie. That's the point of the game.

17 year-old Ellie has finally come home to face the music. But can her family, or even her friends, get over her betrayal? And who is in control of her future? Multiple award-winner Nimer Rashed's powerful debut play is a kaleidoscope of questions, conundrums and the truths we fear to face.

Wild Horses is the first play from Theatre503's in-house writers, the 503Five: a group of playwrights selected from over two hundred of the country's most exciting voices and nurtured by the team that produced the Olivier Award-winning The Mountaintop.
