ABOUT
Having left the conflict of WWI, Horne’s Descent follows the journey of a young priest as he spirals into the depths of his own moral conflict. After the fog and fumbling of war, can you ever go back to the way things were? Touching on themes of classism, religion and free will, this production is a psychological interrogation into whether we have the power to change the course of our lives.
REVIEWS

Horne’s Descent’ is a fascinating, deep dive into the corruptibility of humanity, featuring first class performances from a cast of talented performers, and gripping dialogue from Nina Atesh masterfully pulled together by director Chloe Cattin. If any show deserved a transfer this surely does.
